We have multi-member files and we're on v5r4 and QZRCSRVS and QZDASOINIT run in QUSRWRK. My excel VBA pulls DB2 data in from the first member with an SQL SELECT statement. I want to pull the data from a different member. When the program runs, the OVRDBF runs in QZRCSRVS and the SQL SELECT runs in QZDASOINIT.
How do I make the OVRDBF run in the QZDASOINIT job and not the QSRCSRVS job? Is this possible? Google shows posts, all pretty old, indicating it is possible to do an OVRDBF. Even the book I got the VBA code from says it's possible although I didn't see a coded example. I know that creating an ALIAS works but, for reasons I won't go into, I don't want to go that route.
Here's the VBA code. (most from i5/OS and MS Office Integration Handbook, 3rd edition, by Chris Peters and Brian Singleton)
Sub StuffCells(sSQL As String, sSheetName As String, sCell As String, sOVRDBF As String)
Dim colCount As Integer
Dim colIdx As Integer
Dim strLength As Double
Set cnMYSQLCMD.ActiveConnection = cnMYiSeries
If sOVRDBF <> "" Then
'execute the OVRDBF command
strLength = Len(sOVRDBF)
With cnMYSQLCMD
.CommandText = "{{CALL QSYS.QCMDEXC ('" & sOVRDBF & "' " & Format(strLength, "0000000000") & ".00000)}}"
.CommandType = adCmdText
.Execute
End With
End If
cnMYSQLCMD.CommandText = sSQL
'execute the SQL query
Set rsMYRECSET = cnMYSQLCMD.Execute()
'get all rows from the recordset
Do While Not rsMYRECSET.EOF
colCount = rsMYRECSET.Fields.Count
For colIdx = 0 To colCount - 1
ActiveCell.Value = rsMYRECSET.Fields(colIdx).Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Activate
Next colIdx
' Move back to the beginning
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -colCount).Activate
rsMYRECSET.MoveNext
Loop
Set rsMYRECSET = Nothing
Set cnMYSQLCMD = Nothing
End Sub
