Okay, so I'm thinking you want to do something like this (pseudocode):

1) Connect to SQL server
2) Prepare Update Statement.
3) Read local file.
4) Do While Record Found
5) Set parameter markers
6) Execute prepared update
7) Read Next Local Record;
8) Enddo
9) Free prepared statement
10) Disconnect from SQL server

Does that help?

I am using the JDBC driver and your JDBC4 program.

Hi Kim,

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "member id" in this context.
Surely, you aren't working with multiple member files on a SQL Server box?

I'm not clear on how you are reading your DB2 for IBM i table. Are you reading this with embedded SQL? JDBC? CLI? native I/O? I don't see any reason why it'd hurt to keep the file open, in any of these cases.

Now I have to update 3 fields in a file(table) in the SQL db from an
RPG program.

I have to read an iSeries file to get a member id, and then get the
member record from the table in the SQL data base and update 3 fields.
Then loop back and get the next iSeries record.

Using Scott's code, I was planning on using the Prepstmt to hold the
member id value and the 3 variables. Then JDBC_ExecPrepUpd
subprocedure to update the 3 fields in the db. Am I understanding the
code correctly? Can I have the iSeries file 'open' while I get the db
record? Any other help would be appreciated. Thanks, Kim
