Re: Access non-ibm file server fils from iseries

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good point Michael about database files. ODBC is not directly usable 
from iSeries. JDBC is, but I'd bet a shop that will not use IFS also 
will not use JDBC. Of course, I know what happens when I assume things.

We have a product - RPG2SQL Integrator - that use a PC middleware box 
to process data in any remote database in real time. It uses either 
an ODBC driver or OLE/DB provider. It uses ILE function calls in RPG 
to do the work. Check out www.rjssoftware.com or call us (me) at 
1-888-RJS-SOFT.
