How to show database records existing in qtemp library

[Fairdinkum]

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with getting data of database in qtemp library?
(Is Connector capable of that?)

One of our prospect wants to get a csv file converted from a database created into qtemp library by an existing 5250 application.
(We've already explained them that it seems to be difficult and aXes is capable of treating that from non-qtemp library.)

Hi Hidekazu

With aXes the database file in QTEMP is unique to the interactive session and cannot be accessed by any other job. The access that aXes uses to server programs and db files goes via the aXes server job.

There are api's that could achieve what you are looking for:

This allows a program to be run under a different job, ie. the interactive job.

Reading the doco, this solution is not for the faint hearted.

Hi Tim,

Sorry for delay reply. It looks like that I might be able to do that. I've got started studying how to use that QWCJBITP API.
Thanks for the information.
