Re: What is the best, most graceful way to import PC data and then run a CLP program?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Booth - there are several kinds of PC data - what kind are you 
working with? Excel? Text? CSV? dBase? etc.

You COULD go with something like NFS (network file system - needs an 
NFS server app on the PC-free from Microsoft) and mount it so it 
looks native in the IFS.

We have the RPG2SQL product that gives full read/write access to 
anything that can be connected to using ODBC or OLEDB - or Excel - 
the functions bind into an ILE RPG program or module.
