RE: AS400....is it really an "Open" system??

I am dry on ideas.   Guess it doesn't really work.  THANKS IBM!

I've tried the port that the SQL guys think it is, I've tried sqlserv, still
no good.

A search on Deja (now google), turned up this snippet that says it doesn't
work:

>Unfortunately SQL Server does not support DRDA AS (server-side), which
>would enable (for example) RPG with embedded SQL on AS/400 to access SQL
>Server tables.  OS/400 does support a DRDA "application request driver"
>exit program, that could also enable access to SQL Server, but I don't
>know if anyone has written an ARD for SQL Server.
>Karl Hanson

I'd love to make this work.  Anymore details that you can post would be
appreciated.
