Don,

You *should* be able to use SQL's CALL function via ODBC.  All *PGM objects on 
System i can be called like stored procedures.  There were some articles... 
Lets see now....

I think this was discussed in a Redbook, but I can't find it right now...

Subject: Executing ISeries program or command from MS SQL Server SSIS


I need to execute an ISeries program (CL or RPG) or command from within an 
Integration Services package within SQL Server 2005.  I need to initiate it 
from within a MS SQL Server SSIS package.  
   
  I know how to call an ISeries program in a .bat file using ISeries Access, or 
within a Java program.   Therefore I assume I could also call a local 
application to initiate the call, but would prefer to call directly to the 
ISeries.  I don't know how to call either one though from within SSIS.
   
  Has anyone done this before, and could help point the way for me?  I'm new to 
MS SQL Server.  My PC is running XP Pro, and my ISeries is v5r2. 
   
  Thank you,
   
  Don McIntyre
