The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

he latest IBM i Technology Refresh for the 7.1 release lifts this
restriction for INSERT statements to simplify data transfer operations
involving three-part names. This new capability makes it easy for a
table on your local system to be populated with data from another
system, as the following INSERT statement demonstrates.
INSERT INTO locallib.customers
SELECT lastname, address, city
FROM rmtsystem.datalib.customer WHERE state='IA'
The embedded SELECT statement uses a three-part name to reference data
on a remote system, and the result of that SELECT statement is
inserted into the customer table on the local system. The SELECT
statement also could reference an alias that points a remote DB2
object. This ability to transfer data directly into a table eliminates
the need to first copy the data into some type of temporary staging
area like a data structure or array.
Only IBM i 7.1 systems that have Level #14 of the Database Group PTF
installed can run an INSERT statement that references DB2 objects from
more than one system.
Of course it's limited to INSERT, so we don't have true federation
functionality...but this is at least a step in the right direction...
