PC programs and IBM i environments

[Terrence Enger <dk122@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

The thread "Stored procedures and library independence" returns
this question to the top of my mind, but it is a (slightly)
different question.

I have (a customer with) a bunch of Excel add-ins which retrieve
data from the IBM i into spreadsheets.  Occasionally, a PC user
needs to fetch data from an environment other than the usual one.
I am not happy with any mechanism that I have invented to let the
user change to an exceptional environment.

All comments welcome.  A good solution would be good <grin />,
but "generally accepted" is also good.

Thanks,
Terry.
