RE: When IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries .NET Provider support data queueandpgm call function like as client access tool kits ?

I wouldn't worry about the statement that the functions are not tested,
that's simply CYA-wording for "we didn't deal with that in this
redbook." Remember, the redbook addresses a specific function, it isn't
general documentation.

As for there being no advantage using OLEDB in .NET, on one level I
agree. You're leaving managed code to drop down to an older technology
like COM. From the DB access point of view it's no better than using
VB6. However, there's a lot to your application other than the wrapper
around the database, and .NET gives you great advantages everywhere
else.

Finally, I was never a big fan of COM objects for accessing the iSeries
as anything other than a database anyway. Make life easy on your
application developers and isolate all the iSeries-unique stuff (msgq,
dtaq, rla, etc.) on the server side using stored procs. The client is
optimized for SQL, deal with it, use it, and make the best of it.
