Re: Accessing Mainframe

Having a quick search through the PHP manual, I find this little note: (This is not to be confused with IBM's DB2 software, which is supported through the ODBC functions.) So I guess DB2 is supported via the ODBC functions.. As for the VSAM, I find no mention of it in the manual. Just have a search through the PHP manual, and maybe hotscript.com or other such sources, and you will most likly find what you need Andrew P.S Please note I've never done IBM work, I haven't even seen a IBM Mainframe, so I can't help much more than this :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sridhar Moparthy" <sridhar.moparthy@wcom.com> To: "'Andrew Brampton'" <andrew@bramp.freeserve.co.uk>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 6:50 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Accessing Mainframe > Thank you Andrew for the reply! > > Actually I have requirements for booth.
