Re: ProgramCall versus JDBC

I haven't used ProgramCall but based on what I read in previous posts on the
list I think you need to open another connection type to the AS/400 to run
ProgramCall. Some people depend on the program called creating data in QTEMP
which they want to read from the JDBC connection. Since they are two
different physical connections they could not do it that way- but calling
the program using JDBC would use the same connection and then they could
read the data from QTEMP. I imagine under the hood the call is different as
well- perhaps there is less overhead in the ProgramCall version since it
does not use the SQL modules on the AS/400 (QSQCALL??).
