RE: Query AS/400 from SQL Server

It does. We install a full copy of client access on the server machine
to ensure all testing can be done on the server if necessary.

Does this require the installation of the IBM ODBC or OLE DB or .NET
driver on the MS SQL server?

Create a "linked server" in MS SQL Server

Then you two options:
-- Pull all rows from the table(s) back and does the where locally
select * from FALCONPROD.S10316ZM.HLTHPRDFIL.LOCATP where locnbr =
'00335';

-- Sends the statement to linked server for processing select * from
openquery(FALCONPROD, 'select * from customp where locnbr = ''00335''');


As you can surmise, option 2 would be more efficient.
