Examples: Connecting AS/400 to a 4690 retail controller
AS/400 retail communications provide the ability to attach retail controllers to the AS/400 system. Retail communications manage data with the intersystem communications function (ICF) file. For communications to begin between programs, the retail communications device must first be configured and varied on.
