Re: JDBC Error?

The bit about changing JDBC date formats is documented in our AS400JDBCDriver
javadoc (the javadoc has  a link to the list of properties the Toolbox
supports).  The bit about MDY and ISO date formats is in in the DB2/400 SQL
Reference guide.  We also added the information as a FAQ to our web page
(http://www.ibm.com/as400/Toolbox).

That fixed the problem. Thank you very much for the information -- is
there documentation for such things somewhere?

Thanks again
