For VSAM specifically, have you looked at the JRIO methods? Here's the entry point for JRIO information:
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/software/java/products/jrio/overview.html That should solve your problem quite directly and neatly. The JRIO methods have been included in the Java SDK for z/OS starting some years ago, with progressive enhancements along the way. Alternatively, a software product called IBM InfoSphere Classic Federation Server for z/OS: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/infosphere/classic-federation-server-z/ provides JDBC and ODBC (database connection) access to several different types of mainframe-hosted data, including VSAM. So if you prefer a JDBC driver approach rather than the JRIO methods, that's another option. Hope that helps. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
