The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Will this work with files created via SQL?
Thanks,

I have understood that a traditional AS/400 file can be either
externally described, or not. (I can see externally described files as
tables with JDBC, the others not).
Is there a way to check programmatically before hand?
You could use the ObjectDescription object to retrieve attributes about
the file ... if it has a SOURCE_FILE attached to it, it's probably
externally described.
I just ran a quick test ... a source physical file returned a source
file of blank, while a true externally described file returned the
actual source file that contained the DDS.
