RE: news400 goes negative on IBM?

Vernon,

I'll be at Summit in a week and will hit the Oracle guys on this further,
but is the A/M a bidirectional pipeline?  Can you hit DB2/400 tables from
the oracle host as well as his the Oracle tables from OS/400?  We talking
something as simple as OVRDBF or a bit more complex?
