RE: best way to copy records from ms access to iseries

I transfer a lot of data between access and iseries. I have not been able to update the iseries table through ODBC for a couple of version releases of iseries access. The easiest method I have found is to create and empty copy of the iseries table is a working library, download the table to the PC using iseries access, saving the file description into an FDF. Once I have this, I export the file from access onto the PC, then upload the file through iseries access using the FDF file created in the previous step. It is cumbersome but it gets the data from point A to point B.

Objet : best way to copy records from ms access to iseries

I am trying to copy a table from MS access to the iseries. The table defs are the same on both systems. I've tried "insert into" sql, but I get an error saying "ODBC insert on a linked table failed. Iseries ODBC driver not valid for operation.



Any suggestions?
