Re: Crystal Reports using AS/400 data

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?

Not sure if they have added ability to run form a command line in recent
releases, but we had written some wrappers to call Crystal and process
documents with Crystal for previous projects.

This allowed us to then call out desired reports on the fly.

With that in place you don't really need Crystal Enterprise.
