SASPros:

Up till now, we've been strictly mainframe SAS users, but our Enterprise Guide license has opened other possibilities, particularly with regards to DB/2 (before the EG license, we only did embedded SQL in PL/I or C).

Could anyone accessing DB/2 on the mainframe for these two scenarios:

* SAS on the DeskTop To DB/2 on mainframe using the SAS visual tools (SQL Query Window, ViewTable or Query Window in SAS/Enterprise Guide)

* SAS App Server & SAS/Intranet Server server (Win2k, IIS 5.0) To DB/2 on mainframe (with SAS's help, we are web enabbling our Data Warehouse)

Provide me with some configuration information -- I have questions regarding how the DRDA connection to DB/2 is made (DB2Connect, other alternatives).

Also, could someone tell me the advantages/disadvantages of Libname Access vs SQL PassThru ? We are running SAS v8.2 on the mainframe, Server (Win2k) and WorkStation (mostly NT workstation). We have all the needed components (SAS/Connect, ACCESS, etc on all platforms).

Any and all comments/suggestions/ideas will be gratefully appreciated ! Thank You.

-Gerry
