I have searched the archive and still have been stumped.

I went through the process of creating an entry in the RDB using ADDRDBDIRE
RDB(MYDSN) RMTLOCNAME(*LOCAL)

When I signon to our AS400 using my userid and password and go into sql
(STRSQL) I can do a "SET CONNECTION MYDSN" and I get a "Current connection
is to Relational Database MYDSN". Otherwise I connect.

I can create an ODBC connection on my local pc and run the agent fine
locally.

If I run a scheduled agent on the AS400 If tells me I cannot connect.

Below is a simple script that I wrote to just see if I could connect and I
could not.

Any Ideas of what I am failing to do would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

Bruce "Hoss" Collins
