RE: SQL Across Multiple AS400's

Oh, well if it's an SQL program, I would think you're all set.  Now, it
depends on how you want to select the data, but can you...
Connect SystemA
Fetch
Connect SystemB
Fetch
Connect SystemC
Fetch...  ?

Remember, you'll need an SQL Package on each non-local system you access
via SQL.  This package needs to be recreated every time the module is
changed.  CRTSQLPKG.

Subject: RE: SQL Across Multiple AS400's

The problem is I have an inquiry program written across files in
multiple
libraries(1 per company) and we now have bought another company aand for
the next year or so, the inquiry needs to select employee records from
24 different companies, 12 or so on each as400. 
Further complicating the problem, is the fact that the program uses SQL
entirely, so no DDM files, unless I rewrite the program to use RPG.
This is all possible, I am just trying to avoid it.

The program gets transactions from any company that an employee has
worked for and displays the results in a subfile.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Tom

You could create DDM files.  I really don't know much at all about DDM
files, but they are like pointers to a file on another system I guess,
but you treat them as a normal file.  Can't SQL DDM files though.  I
also don't know if you can have multiple DDM files, each pointing to a
different system.  Something to look into though.

Does anyone have an example of how to get information from files from
multiple AS400's with SQL ?
Thanks
