>Setting the timeouts doesn't work. NV is too far away even when the timeout is set to 10 minutes, because we are using the AS400 at it's slowest access level, batch status. We have tried all of the above. Which brings this question back to where it started...

Hello Margaret,

I have the chance of working with an AS400 system(white box) in the past and
things I discoverd was that the biggest problem with ODBC is it runs at priority 20 because of the class QPWFSERVER assigned to the prestart jobs QZDAINIT and QZDASOINIT in subsystem QSERVER. Your system admin on the AS400 cna modified the prestart job to use class QBATCH instead in order to enforce priority 50 on ODBC, but I wast not in NV , it was for internal pourposes.

My other though on your problem will be stablishing socket conections from
NV to your local server, keep the connection alive by sending raw data till
your data set becomes available from the AS400 queries.

By means of "HTML" you will need a cgi module (COM, dll) to server in that
function too, create the data, and then transer it from your local server
to NV. that way the COM or dll object will reside on the local server not on
the remote, and it will take advantage of the full resources of your local
machine

just my 2 cents
