DB2 and any others?

[Gerry]

Is there a capability to work with anything other than DB2 files?

Hi Gerry,

In the standard Valence development methodology, RPG or RPG/SQL handles all requests from the front end. Therefore any data you can access with RPG on your System i can be used with Valence. Now, there are many ways to access remote databases from within an RPG program using SQL. If you're familiar with how to do that you could code it directly, or there are other 3rd party applications that you can use for remote SQL connections to make the job easier. I would recommend downloading and installing the Valence trial and then look at Demo 10. This is an SQL paging grid that could easily be modified to access a remote database. I'll send you an email with my contact info if you would like to discuss further. Thanks.
