Re: AS400 as ODBC client

[afvaiv <afvaiv@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe IBM's " DB2 DataJoiner " can help you? It allows access to SQL Server and
Oracle (among other) from different environments. AS/400 is one of these. But in
the case of AS/400 I believe it requires having an IPCS in the AS/400 (not sure)

This product was announced July 28, 1998 . Find its announcement in US 
Ann.Letter
298-264. At bottom of that page you can request a .pdf file with the
announcement.
