Dan,

VARPG is part of the "WDSc for iSeries' CD set.  If you're looking for it
in your LPP CD set, you won't find it.

Cool!

I don't think I've used ODBC in a HLL before.  Does ODBC connect to a
database like MySQL and allow native RPG I/O, like CHAIN, READE, WRITE,
UPDATE?

What CD-ROM do I find VARPG on?  And, if I'm not connected to a 400, how are
PTFs managed?
