RE: Applying a DDS

Joe,

All the AS400/iSeries manuals are available on the IBM Website.
Start here...
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/homeeng1.htm
and select your operating system, then proceed to programming, etc.

SQL can be an effective solution if used appropriately.  There are
many times when record level access is a wiser choice for performance
reasons.
