All parameters are optional, we can use the following syntax:
HOpenConnection(NewConnexion,"","","","",hAccèsNatifAS400)
and then complete the login window, provided that the dialogs are not disabled (see also automating the connection).
The provider is of course hAccessNativeAS400.
The access mode can be hOReadWrite or hORead.
The three essential parameters are:
• the IP address of the AS/400 or its name (provided it is in the host file or in the DNS)
• the name of the user (profile)
• his password
Extended information can be useful for specifying settings specific to an AS/400 connection, such as the job name.
