RE: AS400 as ODBC client

A single user license for DRDA is included with SNA Server.  Looks like more
$ for productive use.
  
From Microsoft document
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q132/2/45.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=g
n&FR=0&qry=DRDA&rnk=1&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=SNA:
"SNA Server 2.11 includes Open Database Connectivity/Distributed Relational
Database Architecture (ODBC/DRDA) drivers for Windows operating system- and
Windows NT-based clients, enabling standard desktop applications that
support database connectivity via ODBC, such as Microsoft Excel and
Microsoft Access, to access IBM host databases without an expensive host-
based database gateway. These drivers support connectivity to the following
IBM host databases: DB2 for MVS, SQL/DS for VM, and DB2/400 for OS/400. A
single-user ODBC/DRDA license is included with SNA Server 2.11. See the
enclosed license card for instructions on obtaining additional licensing."

Another document mentions DRDA in SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack 1.  Just go to
Microsoft's knowledge base and search for DRDA in SNA server.  All of the
documents I've reviewed mention accessing Host databases from NT, not the
other way around.  I would be interested in hearing if anyone has success
with this, since the project that started me down this path may resurface in
the future.

I agree.  DRDA, but where do you get it from?  I thought for awhile that it
was part of SNA Server, but we couldn't install that on our server.
