Ever the naysayer, Dieter!

I do not believe anyone is saying this is something could not be done using several steps. Chuck gave us a set of steps using things like QMQRY, etc. What the 3-part naming does is let us skip the CONNECT TO - it does an explicit connection, according to the documentation.

So it is, IMO, a significant addition to our arsenal of tools. Scott Forstie has some articles out that give good examples of the use here - and benefits. Anyone interested can simply google for three-part naming iseries sql - the article I looked at is on iprodeveloper.com

Rab,

three part alias is nothing great or new (it's only another mode of writing for a feature, existing from the beginning of DB2/400). You could redirect the output of a select statement to a local outfile with interactive SQL and QMQRY and this is working for local files and remote files in the RDBDIR.
