Joe, you are correct. I have mapped using Gentran to the DB2 database on the iSeries (AS400) using ODBC. Works great for mapping and moving the data. cjg

That's all map things. Certainly they would need to rebuild their maps, just the same as if they transitioned from AS400 based Brand X to Brand Y translators.
