RE: SQL CLI & MS-SQL Server

Tom,

Sorry, but IBM uses DRDA, which is not natively supported by M$.  I
understand that products exist to add DRDA services to SqlServer, but I
can't give you any recommendations.  A potential alternative,  I understand
that V5R1 supports RPG calls to Java methods, so possibly you could write a
JDBC interface for RPG.

Subject: SQL CLI & MS-SQL Server


Hi,

Is it possible to use the CLI api's to access an MS-SQL server or am I just
wasting my time?  I've been tinkering around with the example program from
the "sorcerer's guide" and consistently get a communications error.  I did a
netstat on the NT machine and see the 400 connecting.  In the failing
program the SQLCODE is -30080 and SQLSTATE is 08001.  My joblog shows
CPF9176 - DDM communications ended abnormally...   What's this DDM
business???  Do I need to install some DDM Server software on the NT box?

Any ideas/help/insight appreciated.


Tom
