RE: news400 goes negative on IBM?

I'd be curious as to how you're doing this also.  We're looking at third 
party products to do this.

RE: news400 goes negative on IBM?






I can connect from my RPG program to a DB2 database on Windows or Linux.
I can access MySQL from Perl or something I suppose. I can't imagine why
I would want to access SQL Server.

What is the importance in being able to access different databases from
RPG? I can see that that could be imoprtant for a Windows developer
since there are so many databases out there, but why would one care
about accessing SQL Server from RPG?
