Thanks for the information Jack.

Can you tell me if the transactions are being processed in batch or via online input. If online, can you tell me how many concurrent users you are supporting and whether the applications are using PCs or dumb terminals. Also, can you tell me the size of your database. Thank you for the additional information.
