Re: iSeries Acces File Transfer

Vern,

My apologies, maybe I wasn't very clear in my comment. 

You are right in stating that there are ways (if needed) to use logical 
expressions. it is only that with the MS Query wizard you can use simple 
(non-tech) things like "IS EQUAL TO...", "BEGINS WITH...", etc. in contrast as 
using a SQL sentence like " A > 5 AND B LIKE 'ZZ%' ", which I have to admit it 
is not very user friendly.

Luis Rodriguez

Did you dig all the way down to the details dialog for setting the 
Where? It gives you fields lists and operators and all that - very 
nice - as I recall, MS Query has something like it - you still need 
some idea of logical expressions, or am I too long not using MS Query?

Vernon,

I think you could be right. If you don't have the CA license this 
must be extra cost. In the sites I've worked we have always had CA, 
so (for me) this is included.

A good point for MS Query is that it could be easier for non-tech 
personnel to use (no need to know SQL in order to select some 
specific data (e.g. WHERE)).

I think so, Luis. From the Access packaging page, the line about
iSeries Access for Windows:

Must have 5722-XW1 to use PC5250 and Data Transfer

and in the line about 5722-XW1

User Based or Processor Based Purchase

So if you have the emulator you also have Data Transfer.

Vernon,

Are you sure about this? I have always thought that the ability to
download files from the iSeries to an EXCEL spreadsheet was free of
charge. It just came with the Client Access CD, along the ODBC client.

He was asking about the iSeries Access download addin for Excel,
which is an extra cost option - your solution is the Microsoft MS
Query, which is usually not installed as a part of MS Office but can
be. Nice thing about MS Query is, it does not cost extra.
