1. Naive question: have you looked at this C programming example already? http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/dzichelp/v2r2/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.ims11.doc.apg%2Fims_codingbatchc.htm
2. DRDA DDM would be another route (IMS 11 or higher). There's some more information here: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/dzichelp/v2r2/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.ims11.doc.apg%2Fims_ddm_overview.htm In this approach the C-unique programming aspects are quite simple and should be familiar to any C programmer: socket calls. The DRDA approach would be able to work both locally (intra-LPAR) and cross-LPAR, if that's of interest. This redbook: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247807.html contains a simple REXX application demonstrating DRDA DDM programming with IMS DB. You should be able to easily translate the concepts to C programming. The REXX sample is described starting on page 326 and is available for download by clicking on "Additional Material" at the above Web site. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples GMU VCT Architect Executive (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
