DRDA / MS SQL Server

[Bill Meecham <BMeecham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I've searched and reviewed and know that this topic was covered here in
the past but maybe someone has made progress with some of the new os
releases?
 
I need to connect to a SQL Server.  We've been using a JDBC connection that
has been working well.  We're also using file 'feeds' which are a nightmare
IMHO.  Now with more demand for additional data that is stored in the SQL
Server, I'm taking a closer look.  They bought the Host Integration Server
(HIS) software so that may be an option for access from the midrange machine
as well.
 
Does anyone have pointers on how to connect either directly to the SQL
Server or how to utilize HIS from the midrange machine using embeded SQL?
