Re: Calling a DB procedure from another DB

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It might not even be necessary to create the stored procedure - seems an 
SQL CALL will handle it already, if there is no need for returning any 
parameters or result set. And, in the latter case, the COBOL would need to 
be modified.

Anyway, just try a CALL and see whether the COBOL program runs - this works 
in interactive SQL.

Also, it seems to me there is a special syntax in the iSeries ODBC that 
will allow direct execution of commands - something like using curly brackets.
