RUMBA/400 for Database Access
_____________________________

1. If you receive error "SQLIBM foreign application does not
   accept data" while using Database Access and specifying
   output to Excel, apply PTF SF29790 (SBCS) or PTF SF29853
   (DBCS).

2. Drop down list on the Database Access screen
   shows "This is a sample" in English.  This fix
   can be applied in any one of three possible ways:

A.  Install Database Access - recommended for new DBA users.

The file RUMBASQL.TXT is installed into the windows directory on
the user's hard drive.  Database Access queries are kept in this
file.

WARNING!!!  WARNING!!!
WARNING!!!  If you have previously created Database Access
WARNING!!!  queries and saved them to this file, then
WARNING!!!  re-installation will delete them!  This will
WARNING!!!  apply the fix, but you can lose previously
WARNING!!!  saved DBA queries.
WARNING!!!  WARNING!!!


B.  Delete lines from RUMBASQL.TXT - recommended for current
    users.

For customers who have already installed Database Access but
want to keep saved queries in RUMBASQL.TXT, we have a simple
solution.  Open the RUMBASQL.TXT file in your windows directory
using an editor like Notepad or Edit and delete the lines
described as "sample."  For example the following lines are
removable:

#This is a sample
 Tag=SAMP,Destination=Grid
 SELECT * FROM LIBRARY.TABLE
#Sample1
 Tag=SMP1,Destination=Grid
 select name, address
 from company.employee
#Sample2
 Tag=SMP2,Destination=Grid
 select <@name>
 from company.employee
 where id = <employee_id>


C.  Copy RUMBASQL.TXT from the AS400 onto your PC.

For customers who prefer not to re-install Database Access, and
who do not have queries saved in RUMBASQL.TXT which they wish to
keep, there is a third way to apply this fix.  Copy the
RUMBASQL.TXT file from your AS400 (QPWXCWN directory) into the
windows directory on your hard drive.  If you have saved queries
in RUMBASQL.TXT which you would like to keep, choose option (B)
from above.



Localizing RUMBA Database Access for Microsoft Excel & Word

RUMBA Database Access.  You must already have RUMBA Database
Access installed on your computer.  Microsoft applications are

behaviors are changed to fulfill the needs of the targeted local
market.  The following lists the differences in international
versions of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word that will affect
the behavior of RUMBA Database Access.

- International versions of Microsoft Excel use different
  notations for R1C1 reference type.
- International versions of Microsoft Excel and Word menu
  commands are translated.
