Running from she'll is an idea, but I have no idea or details on how to run from she'll.

If I wanted to put the output on the i I think I would consider using the
qshell db2 command as opposed to running an odbc script on a pc and mapping
the output back to the i via a share.
Much better to run the query on the i if the output will end up there (in
my opinion anyway)

That said, there's a lot to be said for Python or Java vs Qshell scripts...

Let me add some clarity.

I am using v5r4 and am using the iNavigator's "Run a sql script".

So all is native in iNav.

I would like to continue running the scripts from iNav.

I would like something like

Runsql script1
Runsql script2
Runsql script3

The iNav for Windows script program is called CWBUNDBS. You should
think of it as an interactive program. There is no 'batch' mode.

If I had to do this, I'd write a Python or Java program that would read
those scripts and then submit them to IBM i via ODBC / JDBC. Map a
windows drive to your IFS (that's where I keep mine). That way you
could still maintain them interactively via iNav, and run them via a
.bat file as needed.

I know you said that you run them from the PC, but for the archives, one
could also run the same scripts on IBM i through a similar mechanism
(read the stream file in RPG / Java / Python and submit via ODBC).

Most others are suggesting running commands on the IBM i to run SQL.
They
might not understand what you are asking. But to put them into a
positive
light, running the SQL on the IBM i might perform better by doing all
the
summarizing on the big iron and just passing the results back to the PC.
Failing that, and a continuation on attempting to run SQL scripts
directly
on your PC I know there is a way. We actually did this from DOS before
I
discovered the old freebie RUNSQL (which was supplanted by IBM coming
out
with their own a decade or so later). Now if I could only remember
how...
Got a lot of work to catch up...
Maybe the ODBC connectivity stuff?
Maybe putting the SQL into excel?
Maybe just running the file transfers and then accessing the downloaded
data?

Subject: is there a way too batch SQL scripts
Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L" <midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I have about 10 separate SQL scripts that I run from the PC command line
using the iNavigator SQL interface.

What I need to do is something like call each script in a batch(BAT)
type
file.

Has anyone done this before?

I do not want to run these using a series of runsqlstm statements in a
CL
program. Using RUNSQLSTM needs me to convert the scripts into source
files

and the width of the source file requires me to break lines into
multiple
lines which gets very messay.
