All,

I'm using the DataAdapter from IBM iSeries to connect to our AS/400.
When I fill the dataadapter, all my string values are converted into
Binary values. The response from IBM is to upgrade our AS/400 OS
(can't do that, because I'm not the only one using this) or read via a
DataReader and convert all strings via a the toString method (which
loses the power of the dataadapter).

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this ?
I'm really getting desperate on this issue !


Thx in advance,

Kristof Bonnast
 
Hello Sahil,

Won't this slow down the response time? Or is the default DataAdapter
working on the same concept.

Changing to SQLServer is not really an option. I'm accessing the AS/400
because our ERP system (JDEdwards) uses this :(

I'll try your suggestion. Thanx very much !

Yes it does. Because it is not ADO.Net native. IBM may help you to come up
with a good provider like that of Oracle.
