Joel,

BizTalk is using SQL Server, can't you just setup a linked server and
have it pull the data via SQL? The OLEDB driver will deliver it to SQL
Server and thus BizTalk in a format that it can use.

Subject: Iseries to Biztalk ETL

Biztalk folks tell me that they cant accept zoned or packed data, in
addition they want to see numerics as edited character strings; ie
"123.45"

I am trying to make the interface file fields refer back to our iseries
database files.

For a order detail file with field QTY defined as packed 10.2, can I
refer to the original field in my interface file, but add an edit code?
But I am pretty sure that there edit codes are ignored for physical &
logical files.

Is it possible to have DB2 utilize the edit codes for a PF?

Is there a better way than moving each numeric field to a work field for
the edit to add the decimal point, and then to the interface file?

I am using cobol so would like to do most fields with MOVE
CORRESPONDING, but that is secondary.

Primarily I would like DDS to handle the editing. Is this doable?

Thanks!
