Re: Using ASP to read DB2 on AS400

Using ASP to read DB2 on AS400Hi Sushama,

Two things immediately spring to mind:

1) There is a known issue (I opened the APAR but don't have the number
handy) on V4R4 where the column names were not being returned by the OLE
driver. It was resolved by an database PTF.

2) I don't have any experience doing ASP, so this might be completely off
the mark, but it seems odd to me that you'd reference your field with a
qualifier from within a "With" block. ie:

Instead of:

with rs
Do While Not .Eof
%>
    <tr>
        <td><%=rs("ACOMP")%></td>
        <td><%=rs("AGEN")%></td>
    </tr>
<%
  .MoveNext
Loop
end with


What if you were to try:

with rs
Do While Not .Eof
%>
    <tr>
        <td><%=.Fields.Item("ACOMP")%></td>
        <td><%=.Fields.Item("AGEN")%></td>
    </tr>
<%
  .MoveNext
Loop
end with

Subject: Using ASP to read DB2 on AS400


Hi all,
Sorry about the earlier post. Trying again.
I am trying to read from a table on the AS400 using ASP and I get the
following error:
ADODB.Fields error '800a0cc1'
ADO could not find the object in the collection corresponding to the name or
ordinal reference requested by the application.


The error point to the following line:
<td><%=rs("ACOMP")%></td>
Here is a part of my code:
Set cn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "Provider=IBMDA400; Data Source=AS400;", "abc", "xyz"
Set cm = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set cm.ActiveConnection = cn
cm.Properties("Updatability") = 0
cm.CommandText = "/QSYS.LIB/SPIL.LIB/PBDAGENT.FILE(*FIRST, *NONE)"
cm.CommandType = adCmdTable
Set rs = cm.Execute
with rs
Do While Not .Eof
%>
    <tr>
        <td><%=rs("ACOMP")%></td>
        <td><%=rs("AGEN")%></td>
    </tr>
<%
  .MoveNext
Loop
end with
rs.Close
cn.Close



I understand that this error comes when the field is not found. I already
verified that the field names are correct. When I access the fields array
with a subscript, it works fine. But I want to be able to use field names
instead of array subscripts.
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
