Re: System Name for JDBC connection. etc.

thanks. I will ask my system administrator to take care of host table set
up.

Someone suggested use IP instead of system name in Toolbox jdbc driver. I
tried and it works. Now without worrying system name/host table setup, I can
access any as400 from my PC and access one as400 from another as400, using
code like this:

String sys = "jdbc:as400://123.122.112.150";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(sys,userid,passwd);
