Re: is there a way too batch SQL scripts

Apologies, I meant to add, the data updates data on the as/400. The output is to new or existing tables on the system. Nothing is downloaded to the PC's.

The user interface in iNavigator is more friendly than trying to use source files.

you expect and where it will be used.

Sounds like you need a PC tool more than an i tool - something capable of
connecting to the database and running SQL scripts, but I don;t know how
you expect to use the output so I can't really say.

Let me add some clarity.

I am using v5r4 and am using the iNavigator's "Run a sql script".

So all is native in iNav.

I would like to continue running the scripts from iNav.

I would like something like

Runsql script1
Runsql script2
Runsql script3

Thanks

I understand that you want to run these scripts on your PC. So I think
you're looking for something like the commands IBM supplies for batch

transfer but instead supports your PC based SQL scripts.
Most others are suggesting running commands on the IBM i to run SQL.

They

might not understand what you are asking. But to put them into a

positive

light, running the SQL on the IBM i might perform better by doing all the
summarizing on the big iron and just passing the results back to the PC.
Failing that, and a continuation on attempting to run SQL scripts

directly

on your PC I know there is a way. We actually did this from DOS before I
discovered the old freebie RUNSQL (which was supplanted by IBM coming out
with their own a decade or so later). Now if I could only remember

how...

Got a lot of work to catch up...
Maybe the ODBC connectivity stuff?
Maybe putting the SQL into excel?
Maybe just running the file transfers and then accessing the downloaded
data?

I have about 10 separate SQL scripts that I run from the PC command line
using the iNavigator SQL interface.



What I need to do is something like call each script in a batch(BAT) type
file.



Has anyone done this before?



I do not want to run these using a series of runsqlstm statements in a CL
program. Using RUNSQLSTM needs me to convert the scripts into source

files

and the width of the source file requires me to break lines into multiple
lines which gets very messay.
