Well who wrote the OBDC Driver on your PC to work with DB2/400, Oracle, and other non M$ servers? Microsoft wrote some of them for there OS and certify others. IBM has give us the ability to write our own drivers by using the *ARDPGM parameter. I am going to look at the freetds.org stuff. Perhaps it can be ported to the AS400. Chris Bipes -----Original Message----- From: Vern Hamberg To me, this seems like a big blind spot on IBM's part. Concerning DRDA, IBM folk have told me that it is not their job to write a driver for another RDBMS. I can see this a bit - MS does not write an ODBC driver for the 400 - well, they may have, but they're not telling. But people are jumping on the DRDA "standard" about as fast as they are networking with SNA and token ring. More IBM "standards" or "strategic directons". The attitude seems to be, the 400 is the SERVER, everyone else must bow down to the SERVER. It will never be a lowly CLIENT.
