Is there any way (possibly cheap) to access Microsoft Sql Server from z/OS mainframe (COBOL programs) and have the result in 3270 terminal emulation?
I'm aware that 3270 is a pretty old system, but in bank CED, is still very popular.

If you have 3270 terminal emulation, what terminals are you using? PC's?

One interesting hack is using a Cisco router to do on the fly 3270 to vanilla TCP conversion, and then writing a simple TCP proxy for your SQL Server procedures
