from IDS 9.30.??. I only did that back in the 90ies using V7.12 and DRDA Gateway V6. I searched on the IBM Web pages and found 2 connectivity products. If the customer wants to keep his setup 'as is' and only wants to be able to make a few selects via frontend contacting his IDS 9.30, do we need to install the enterprise gateway product and setup some alias tables and or views in IDS 9.30, which point to the db2 database tables? Or is there another way to archive that functionality? Every hint/advice appreciated. dic_k
