esources, such as printers.

Complex field validation, and field and form relationships are supported within the client application. This provides a more responsive application with a superior user interface, when compared to enabler-based or terminal emulation products.

Database Access Independence

The client-server model implemented by the RF-TP™ software places responsibility for the database access and update in the server application. The design and access for single or multiple databases is retained within the server software and is transparent to the client software.

Typically, the client software sends a simple message to the server requesting verification of a field, retrieval of one or more records, or a database update. The server software formats and issues the database commands, and then transmits the reply to the client in a simple response message.

Text File Import/Export

Standard facilities are provided to import text format files onto the client from the server, and to export text files to the server. Several clients can simultaneously append to the same text file on the server. The server software can periodically transfer these text files to be processed by an external application.
