: Background:
: up Powerbuilder. Powerbuilder seems to require a substantial : amount of code to do things like connect to the database, which : Forms handles pretty easily. The version of Powerbuilder I'm using
SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC"
SQLCA.dbParm = "ConnectString='DSN=database_name;UID=user_id;PWD=password'"
CONNECT
Seems pretty easy to me. At least this is all I had to do. Did you have
to do anything more?
