 System i Access
| | |
System i Access for Linux includes a 5250 emulator, access to the DB2 for i5/OS using its ODBC driver, a Remote Command (rmtcmd) utility to run i5/OS commands, and a library and headers to build custom applications that can easily communicate with the i5/OS operating system.
The following new capabilities are included with the V6R1 release:
- Remote Command Unicode API support: The remote command Unicode interface cwbRC_RunCmdW now flows Unicode data to i5/OS. i5/OS must be at V6R1, or later.
- IPv6 support for the System i Access toolkit: The ODBC, Remote Command, and other utilities are supported over an IPv6 network. 5250 sessions are not supported over IPv6.
Enhancements to the ODBC driver:
- The ODBC driver now handles stored procedures compiled with different date/time formats. No matter which date/time format is used when you create the procedure, the result sets return the date/time format specified when executing the procedure.
- Extended indicator support. INSERT and UPDATE SQL prepared statements do not require the user to specify a value for each field used in the sentence. Instead, you can specify an indicator to use the default value for a specific field or to ignore the field in the sentence. This enhancement can increase performance and offer a better way to use prepared statements.
- Increased length of cursor names to 128 characters. With this change application providers can generate unrepeatable cursor names easily and with more space to better name the cursors.
- Query storage limit. You can set parameter QRYSTGLMT to specify a storage limit for a query. This new parameter prevents execution of a query by comparing the specified storage limit with the estimated storage usage of the query. This new ODBC driver sets the parameter in the connection string.
- DB2 support for decimal float data type.
