That was it! I knew it had to be something simple that I just didn't understand about the AS/400. Thanks guys!

Most AS/400 tables are not journalled and do not support transactions. Try using the EXTERNAL transaction manager which will turn off all transaction processing in iBATIS - maybe it will make a difference. BTW - the AS/400 terms for transactions are "commitment control" and "journalling". Ask the AS/400 folks in your shop if they've these things - my guess is probably not.

I noticed quite a few references to an error message like this due to journaling/commit/rollback problems.

I'm trying to replace a homegrown DOA with iBatis in an application running against DB2 on an AS/400. All of my selects are running fine. But when I try to run an Insert statement, I get the following error: Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: [SQL7008] ECEP in T0MD618D not valid for operation. Caused by: com.ibatis.common.jdbc.exception.NestedSQLException : I've double checked everything I can think of. I'm connecting with the correct credentials, etc. I've used iBatis extensively in other projects with lots of success, but this has me baffled. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks, Davis Chapman
