Two ways, ALIAS and OVRDBF.
I recommend creating an sql ALIAS. Then you point your query to it. You can
change the ALIAS to point to a different member later, and your query would
remain the same.
If you'd rather use the CL OVRDBF command, you can execute it in an ODBC
connection using the QCMDEXC stored procedure.

Subject: ODBC to multimember database

Hi,

I'm collecting performance data on my job via collection services.
I've got the Excel iSeries data transfer to work, but the query editor
is less than adequate. With the data xfer wizard, I can specify
QMPGDATA/QAPMJOBL(Q338134810) as the library & member.

With iSeries ODBC connection, I can specify QMPGDATA & QAPMJOBL
but no where is there a way to specify the file member - this my
query is returning data from the first member (old data).

For example, the query to get date/time, job type, subsystem, job name,
total transaction time, number of transactions, and cpu%

SELECT QAPMJOBL.DTETIM, QAPMJOBL.JBTYPE, QAPMJOBL.JBSSYS,
QAPMJOBL.JBNAME, QAPMJOBL.JBRSP, QAPMJOBL.JBNTR, QAPMJOBL.JBCPU FROM
D10706E2.QMPGDATA.QAPMJOBL QAPMJOBL ORDER BY QAPMJOBL.DTETIM DESC

that D* number I can't find a member of QMPGDATA/QAPMJOBL

My workaround is to use RUNQRY and dump the output to a database
that only has one member.

Is there a slick way to do ODBC queries to multimember databases?

(Hope I'm using the right terminology, I'm rather new at this...)

Thanks
