Re: Crystal Reports using AS/400 data

[Richard Schoen <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In our case, your actual Crystal Report could use ODBC for DB access or create an XML in the IFS. 

Then we wrote a wrapper four our Office Integrator product to call out the Crystal Runtime via a CL command.

So in fact, do you use the IFS when you are making the connection from
Crystal. When you say ODBC connection to AS/400 tables or logicals, this is
actually using the IFS?
