Re: Connecting to DB2 on OS/390 sans DB2 Connect?

I've done this using the iSeriesODBC driver supplied by IBM and then used DBD::ODBC on top of that. You'll need an ODBC driver manager as well, but I think RH9 comes with a good version of unixodbc, which was the driver manager I used..

Thanks.. I'll investigate. It does seem a touch precarious though. [Jon]	[reply]

It does seem a touch precarious though. It's not the native DRDA stream like the DB2Connect solution would be, but ODBC is pretty well known. IBM has support for the iSeriesODBC driver for Linux if that would give you an extra level of comfort. -- dug	[reply]
