FORUM ADVICE
Executing a command similar to TVF
"Bbonner" asks, "Does anyone know how to execute a command similar to TVF on the iSeries with DB2 UDB? It appears that one needs to do a create schema and then run SQL script. We'd like to be able to run these from QSHELL if possible." Do you know how this can be accomplished?

THE MISSING LINK
Former cop, Cougar reunited

Thanks to the Internet, a Florida man will get his car back -- 20 years after someone stole it from outside his Bronx home. The man, a former NYPD detective, had given up the ghost -- or in this case, the 1968 Mercury Cougar -- years ago. But thanks to an Internet community of Cougar collectors, one of whom was doing some research on a Cougar he saw for sale in a New York newspaper, man and machine will be reunited. Another man will be united with charges of possession of stolen property.
