Using a Remote Database

Access Through a Local Application Program

In this sample case, after logging on to the local system, the user runs the program named

APPLICAN from the local session. The base array in this program contains ORDDBA.

When a call to DBOPEN is executed, TurboIMAGE/XL establishes a communication line and

remote session. When the program closes the database, TurboIMAGE/XL closes the line

and terminates the remote session.
