Abstract
An apparatus for and method of utilizing an Internet terminal coupled to the world wide web to access a legacy data base management system having a dialog-based request format to prepare, modify, and execute stored procedures. The user request is passed to the legacy data base management system via the Internet. The command type is determined whereby list, parameter, column, and execute commands are defined. In response to the user request, the scripted procedure is accessed, prepared, modified, or executed, as appropriate. Invalid and/or undefined requests result in an error response. Valid and defined requests result in performance of the requested command and transfer of an appropriate response to the user terminal.
