Can you do RACF password changes via coldfusion with the newer JDBC drivers? That'd be pretty sweet. > On your original post, wouldn't that be a DB thing?

For some reason which is beyond my comprehension, Macromedia chose to use the column labels. When you alias a column, the column NAME returned is the alias, but the column label remains the same, and so Macromedia returns the original field name. which, btw, some of our database columns actually had "labels" .. for example, "FORGNCOD" had a label of "Foreign Code" and until we modified all the column labels in the database to be the same as the column name, that caused all kinds of havoc. > Man, 5.2, we're at least on 7 something :) well, our mainframe is more modern than 5.2 ... I think we're running 7.something on the mainframe.. it's just that our version of DB2 connect is so ancient, we don't even know if we legally own it.
