Abstract
Method and apparatus for directly accessing data from, or submit runs to, another computer platform. Preferably, this is accomplished by providing a special program statement within the software code of a computer program that is executed on a local computer platform. The special program statement may include a remote request, and may call a utility that formats and sends the remote request to the desired remote computer platform. After the remote request has been processed by the desired remote computer platform, resulting data preferably is returned to the computer program on the local computer platform.
