Re: AS/400 to SQL Server 2000 via DTS

["David Bulog" <d2ba@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Evan,
Thanks for the tip re CPYTOIMPF and CPYTOSMTF
Im a bit rusty as I no longer have the trusty  Model 500 to set up a test
lab trial
I still think ODBC or OLE DB access is much better--problem is I cant seem
to find anyone
who has tested the Microsoft  OLE DB provider that ships with Host
Integration Server.
It would be a shame in this day an age to resort to file output

cheers Dave
