Could an OA handler be written to allow RPG to access a remote, non DB2, database as if it were a local DB2 table? I would create a local DB2 file that was a duplicate structure of the remote table so the compiler knew what data was in the file. Then at run time the handler would redirect the I/O requests to the remote database. That would be a very nice handler for IBM to provide with this new technology. Or maybe the vendors who sell tools to access other databases from RPG would add this to their suite of products (hint hint)

For those of you who haven't had a chance yet to look at what can be
done with RPG's Open Access in areas other than GUI I/O we just
published our first article on the topic - a simple handler that works
with IFS files. You can find it here: http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/OAR_handlers/33511p1.aspx
