hi everybody
i want to access an as400 database from clarion. how can i do?
 
Now thats an interesting idea, write a clarion front end, to access the rock solid db2 based AS/400 database... If you figure this one out, let me know. I like everything about clarion, except the .tps files seem a little bit 'delicate'.

Hi Meuz

To access an as400 database,

I have tried some ODBC drivers, but the only one which seems to work is the RUMBA driver. Let you follow the Windows instructions in order tuse an ODBC driver plus the instructions from RUMBA.

The things I have noticed are :
- you must have at leat one key declared "unique" among the keys you need for your file.
- each key attached to your file in your Clarion dictionnary will be created in the as400 (as if created with CRTLF command)
- Browses and Forms procedures seemed to work normally.

Since I am no longer on that question, for now, these are the things I remember.

Good luck.
