RE: Help with capturing errors codes in .ASP code talking toDB2/400

I can't help much with ASP access, but I was wondering what an iSeries
"flat file" is.  Back in the day, a flat file meant a file with no
intrinsic format: for example, 80-byte card files.  You had to map the
fields yourself using data structures or the like.  On the iSeries, you
create such a file with a CRTPF command using the RCDLEN parameter.

Physical files and logical files with DDS are NOT flat files, by this
definition.  What in your terminology makes an iSeries file a flat file?
What is NOT a flat file?
