About

This is Heikos personal page, in which he maybe shares some private information or collects bits for new articles.

Personal information

Heiko has been in IT since the 90s, but never worked with an AS/400…until 2019. He'll document his first steps in the hope they will be useful to others.

Ideas for new articles

Project: Access database with ODBC

Create a database

I suggest you try Beginners Project: 99 Bottles Of Beer (using REXX) and Beginners Project: Hello World (using database and display file) before you try this![1]

Create a database to play with

  • 14 to compile…
    ODBCDB02.png
    …I failed again. Stupid me. I can't create a new physical database file in the same place, where source physical file (with the same name!) exists.
    • Just rename the DDS member from ODBCDB to ODBCDBPF:
      ODBCDB03.png
      ODBCDB04.png
    • And try again.
    • Check with DSPMSG[2] whether the compile was successful or not. If it did, you find the new PF in the library:
      ODBCDB10.png

Insert content into the database

  • STRSQL + F4
    • Enter the library name, in this example ODBC[3]
  • In the interactive SQL session, enter:
    INSERT INTO CALLS (CALLER, CALLED, DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP) VALUES ('Ernie', 'Bert', '2019-10-05', '23.23', '2019-10-05 23:23:42')[4][5]
  • There are many ways to display the result:
    • If you're still in STRSQL, enter: SELECT * FROM CALLS
    • On command line, try this: DSPF FILE(ODBC/ODBCDBPF)
    • Or use STRDFU, select option 5 and fill out the displayed form.

ODBC

Make sure you've set up /etc/odbc.ini correctly. In my case, Silverlake is the name of the defined connection I'll use.

  1. Heiko made this pretty brief, f.e. not every F3 or is noted.
  2. or use Compile Sources Without Queuing
  3. Shortcut: STRSQL LIBOPT(ODBC)
  4. Timestamp format: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFMBX/com.ibm.swg.im.dashdb.sql.ref.doc/doc/r0007107.html
  5. You can use either . or : as delimiter in time fields. The proper way, according to the documentation I found, is: .
