Stored Procedure on AS400

[bytehead]

I am not an accomplished VB programmer by any means, so bear with me...

1. I need to open the connection to the as400 database (already accomplished).
2. I need to invoke a stored procedure (SETMAPENV) in a specific library (QGPL) and pass in two arguements (Endes, Rtnc1). The stored procedure will then return a new return code based on its accomplishments.
3. I need to invoke a stored procedure (MPXIMPPST) in a specific library (YMALIBDGRT) and pass in two arguements (TxtFil, Rtnc2). The stored procedure will then return a new return code based on its accomplishments.
4. I need to close the connection to the as400 database (already accomplished).


Below is my code from VB6, which worked wonderfully:

Sub StoreB23()
desAS400_MRP.B23.Open
Dim msg, style, title, response
If Not desAS400_MRP.B23.State = adStateOpen Then
msg = "Connection to the MRP Database(B23) was unsuccessful!" _
& vbCrLf & "Please see your system administrator!"
style = vbOKOnly + vbCritical
title = "No MRP Connection(B23)!"
response = MsgBox(msg, style, title)
'Exit Sub
End
End If

Dim Endes As String * 2
Dim Rtnc1 As String * 7
Endes = "DD"
Rtnc1 = "2"
Call desAS400_MRP.B23_QGPL_SETMAPENV(Endes, Rtnc1)
If Rtnc1 = 1 Then
msg = "Connection to the DD Environment on the MRP Database(B23) was unsuccessful!" _
& vbCrLf & "Please see your system administrator!"
style = vbOKOnly + vbCritical
title = "No Environment Connection(DD)!"
response = MsgBox(msg, style, title)
'Exit Sub
End
End If

Dim TxtFil As String * 32
Dim Rtnc2 As String * 4
TxtFil = gblUserID & "_" & frmSwitchBoard.mskEcnNum & ".txt"
Rtnc2 = "2"
Call desAS400_MRP.B23_YMALIBDGRT_MPXIMPPST(TxtFil, Rtnc2)
If Rtnc2 = 1 Then
msg = "FTP of file " & TxtFil & " was unsuccessful!" _
& vbCrLf & "Please see your system administrator!"
style = vbOKOnly + vbCritical
title = "FTP error!"
response = MsgBox(msg, style, title)
'Exit Sub
End
End If

desAS400_MRP.B23.Close
If Not desAS400_MRP.B23.State = adStateClosed Then
msg = "Connection to the MRP Database(B23) was unsuccessful closed!" _
& vbCrLf & "Please see your system administrator!"
style = vbOKOnly + vbCritical
title = "MRP Connection(B23) not closed!"
response = MsgBox(msg, style, title)
'Exit Sub
End
End If
End Sub

Well, have you tried to do anything yet? Were you using a Data Environment in VB 6? Have you tried creating command objects, and setting their paramaters and executing the command object?
