In response to John, thanks for the info on the Date Function & can I
use the .Net provider within Reporting Services (BIDS)?

Sorry, James. I thought I had the .NET provider working for SSRS, but when I
went to lookup the details I quickly saw that I'm mistaken. It's the OLEDB
wrapper that I'm using. However, the OLEDB would be a better choice than
ODBC as well, and it's configured from the same wizard that you'd use to
configure ODBC.


If so, where & how, or maybe provide a link to some info that I could
read & I definitely would appreciate the info.

It is possible to get the .NET provider working for SSRS, but requires
someone to write a bit of code. The native provider doesn't work out of the
box because it lacks some extensions that SSRS requires. Since IBM is
unlikely to create the extensions, it falls upon someone in the community to
create the thin wrapper needed to get this working.

If anyone has the time to take this on, the documentation to get started is
here:
