There was an open source product called "ODBC Socket Server" available.
I believe that the author has stopped supporting it but he may have
something else available now. Anyway the product consisted of a server
process that ran on a windows box, and a client that could run anywhere.
It used a simple XML based protocol to send a SQL statement to the
windows server process, and then receive the results. I was able to
write a RPG client program but it comes with are several clients
including one in PERL.

If you can find it this product works great. I wouldn't want to use it
for transferring large amounts of data but 10-100 records at a time
shouldn't be a problem. I used it to view information from a windows
based helpdesk on the 400. (An interesting thing I found out about the
word "helpdesk" is that at least one spell checker thinks that it is an
incorrect spelling and suggests "helpless" as the correct spelling.)

Is there any way of getting the AS/400 to read files on a specified PC
using the ODBC facility?

Might be a silly question, but what the hell.
