There is a solution to migrate Mainframe apps to web based on codecharge???
How ASP and ODBC can connect to mainframe???
there is an emulator to transform this.., how it works

If your database runs on mainframe you simply create an ODBC data source on server and point it to that database. then you specify this DSN in your application.

I know that connection to database is easy with codecharge...
I had a problem with a database that is on a Mainframe on Canada... and the connection to database is via a Terminal Window who let users interact with the database...
There is a software that connects this terminal to odbc connection...???
Or if i know IP,User,Password from Mainframe i can get the tables no matter Mainframe is??
People on there said that the data is on Mainframe format and need to be converted to ANSI, ASCII format... because Mainframe works with hexadecimal data...
This really exist??? so TEXT is converted to a Hexadecimal code????
and need to be converted and recoverted depending on changes

If you are trying to connect to a database hosted on a mainframe, simply set up the appropriate drivers (JDBC or ODBC) and establish a connection to the mainframe as a DSN.
For example, I'm connecting to DB2 on a mainframe via JDBC. I installed the DB2 client drivers on my PC, established a DSN connection and configured CC to use the datasource.
If you want to access the filesystem directly, the same can be done, however, you are going to have to write a lot of custom connection code PLUS code to translate EBCDIC to ASCII.

What do you mean with directly connect to the filesystem...
If directy connected you mean need to write the driver job???? for showing data??
When connection is directly how this done???
