RE: RPG Embedded SQL connect to PC Websphere db

You can specify the database name, user name, and password to connect
with as host variables.

Kurt,

I think at compilation time you have to set the RDB of the SQLRPGLE
programme. Default is *LOCAL, which means you cannot connect to a remote
database. You have to recompile thenprogramme I fear and set those
compile options correctly, I fear.

Perhaps there is a way to have an SQLRPGLE programme that can beused to
connect to the local DB and any remote DB. I would like to know that to.

Carel Teijgeler
