It's always easy to download from the iSeries to PC excel files, but not the other way. The method I use to upload, which involves creating a DDS, uses Client Access data transfer to download to the PC just to get .FDF. Is there an easier way than this? >> CLICK here to view Kent's response: http://www.search400.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid538990_tax285216,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ACCESSING ISERIES DATA | Forum advice: Search400.com "Lokesh" has a Web-based application that needs to access data stored on an iSeries database.

Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michelle Pfeiffer and Linus Torvalds all did their parts for the movie. Linus Torvalds? No, he's not voicing the part of Sinbad's geeky pet penguin, but his Linux operating system played a key role in the film's production. "Sinbad" is the first flick ever made entirely on Linux. Think Mr. and Mrs. Gates will take the kids?
