Re: Accessing another database from RPG via SQL

Learn SQL  I recommend the book "SQL/400 Developer's Guide" by Paul Conte 
and Mike Cravitz available at:
http://store.midrange.com/details.php?ASIN=1882419707

You  won't be able to do the nice external data structure to define your 
work fields since this file is remote, but it can be done.  As the other 
gent suggested you may have to work with your cohorts to get WRKRDBDIRE 
working.  You'll be using the sql statements CONNECT TO, SELECT, and a few 
others.  Get the book.  If your company's paying you to potty you might as 
well be reading something to get them a ROI.  Besides, the link I sent you 
makes sure that this list gets a cut.
