This Delphi 4 sample uses the IBM i Access for Windows automation objects to perform the following:

• Retrieve the list of IBM i systems which have previously been connected
• Specify a new IBM i system to access
• Retrieve information about an IBM i, such as the: IP address, host version and release levels, password expiration date, number of active connections, etc.
• Call an IBM i Access for Windows API to retrieve a list of user libraries on the system
• Call an IBM i API to retrieve a list of data queues in a library
• Create and delete libraries
• Create and delete data queues
• Query the attributes of data queues
• Send and receive data using data queues
• Convert strings and numeric data between host and PC formats
• Retrieve information about the IBM i Access for Windows code installed on the PC

This sample uses the IBM i Access for Windows Data Queue APIs to do simple client/system transaction processing and keyed storage. The interface uses the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) for displaying graphical dialogs, storage objects, and for Windows message processing. The code that does the actual data queue operations consists of a set of classes which call the Data Queue APIs.

Two separate types of data queues are used in the sample. A First-In First-Out (FIFO) queue for transaction messages and a keyed queue for item storage. These queues may reside on different systems.
