Re: Should application do connection.close()?

When the method does AS400JDBCConnectionPool.getConnection(), it will

not close the connection. Instead, it put it back to the pool. That is
just my guess. The doc does really say anyhting about this. Can anyone
confirm?

Regardless if it returns the connection back to the pool, it's always a good practice to release resources you have locked. If you don't close the connection, the server job will remain active waiting to service your job.

Just like you would close a file that you explicitly opened in RPG (assuming it was a usropn file).
