RE: RPG2SQL - is there something in WebSphere that will do the same thing?

Alrighty, I've read the article and uploaded the samples to our iSeries
(currently v5r2, btw with no maintence s/w or otherwise). I've worked up a
test program using one of his test programs as an example. The program
creates the database and table, but fails when inserting records with the
following message:

JDK Version 1.4 or later required!

In LICPGM, I see the following:
5722JV1 V5R2M0 Java Developer Kit 1.2
5722JV1 V5R2M0 Java Developer Kit 1.1.8
5722JV1 V5R2M0 Java Developer Kit 1.3
5722JV1 V5R2M0 Java Developer Kit 1.4

I'm not sure what I need to fix/remove/update.

Tom

Just use Scott's JDBC Api. Does what you want and the price is great, free!
I use it to go to Sql Server but all you need is the driver for MSQL.

We've been using RPG2SQL for 5 years, very happily I might add. After
the first year, "The Power that Is" decided to let the maintenance on
RPG2SQL lapse. We're now about to purchase a new iSeries and upgrade
some of our PCs. This will require that we re-purchase the RPG2SQL
license, or pay a rather steep cost + penalty to maintenance up to date.

TPtI is not happy.

The iSeries side of RPG2SQL will submit an SQL-type of query to a
remote server (PCs running MySQL, in our case), the client software on
the PC will capture that request, perform the SQL retrieval from the
MySQL database and return the results to the iSeries. RPG2SQL is
capable of much more, but this is how we use it; not much else is needed.

I've been tasked with finding an alternative within WebSphere - is there?
