Re: connecting 2 as400s

Thanks.  I'm having a hard time in not falling back into using PDM and 
CODE.  It's not that I have any issues with WDSC, it's just getting around 
to using them.

Re: connecting 2 as400s






Copying a non-DB object works in the same system, but not between systems. 

At least,  a user space was not copied between libraries on 2 systems. I 
have 5.1.2 of WDSC with latest service pack, I think. One could create a 
user command, I suppose, but it'd need to use SAVRST* of some kind.
