QUESTION POSED ON: 25 January 2006
I use Business Objects and Viewpoint to access DB2/400 via ODBC. Since the new year some PTF's were applied (I don't know which ones) and now any SQL that converts strings to dates fails.

The iSeries is managed elsewhere and they claim there is no problem because it works using DB2 connect and Operations Navigator. I had always thought these products used APPC not ODBC. Is this correct?

In order to better understand the problem, I need the exact error. However, note the following:

- DB2 connect indeed uses a different approach then ODBC

- Navigator works with JDBC (and not ODBC)

- Sometimes it is recommended to upgrade the ODBC

driver when changes occur on the iSeries. (I assume you use ODBC driver from iSeries access).

- Try to "play" with dates format (in the ODBC configuration use tab server -> advanced)
