RE: Call iSeries program from C# program

Bob, the way I do it is to load the iSeries Access .Net Db2 Provider and
call a stored procedure on the iSeries. Below is a code snippet. You
have to create the stored procedure on the iSeries.

using IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries;

try
        {
            cn.Open();
        }
        catch (iDB2Exception ex)
        {
            HandleError("An error occurred on cn.Open()", ex);
            return;
        }
      
        //************************************************************
        // B: define stored procedure - GENERAL parameter style
        //************************************************************
        String sp = "call YourLibrary.YourProgram(@Parm1, @Parm2)";

        iDB2Command cmd;

        try
        {

 
//*************************************************************
          // C: set up command, derive parameters, set input parm values
 
//*************************************************************
          cmd = new iDB2Command(sp, cn);
          cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
          cmd.DeriveParameters();

 
//*************************************************************
          // D: Request - get value or set to default
 
//*************************************************************
          cmd.Parameters["@Parm1"].Value = 'initial Value if you need
it'; 
 
//*************************************************************
          cmd.Parameters["@Parm2"].Value = String.Empty;

          cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                
          String TestParm = cmd.Parameters["@Parm2"].Value.ToString();
                }
          Catch
                {
                        // Do Error Stuff
                }

Subject: Call iSeries program from C# program

  I have a VARPG project that I'm converting (well duplicating) to a

C#

web
  application.  I'm also duplicating it to a standalone C# Windows
program
  as well just to see which one will work best.

  It was easy enough to call the progam on the iSeries from the VARPG
  program that builds a file.  I need to do the same thing in the C#
program
  if it is possible.  Anybody know it this is possible?
