Appears that you didn't add the JDBC driver to your classpath...

You might want to investigate Deiter's ArdGate...
https://sourceforge.net/projects/appserver4rpg/

Allows for simple embedded SQL usage..

Hi everyone
Before I forget, we are on V7r1

I have been asked to investigate how we can connect to an external
database Google search presented the following web page

Scott Klements - Accessing External Databases from RPG

Thank God for Scott

I am following his pdf presentation and I am somewhat sure that
everything is loaded into our test system Using one of his examples to
access an SQL server database I changed the connection string and the
username and password and ran the example program in debug mode It is
failing With

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.
SQLServerDriver
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:499)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:651)
at
sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:349)

As this is ALL brand new to me - where do I even START to look at what
my problem is?

As always - any and all help REALLY appreciated
