Running With An AS400

IBM has refused to cooperate with the CoreReader project, demanding payment for information, so CoreReader's example connection comes from Microsoft.

Perhaps it is common knowledge now, but when I worked with an AS400 ten years ago, I discovered that DB2 was hidden inside it.

A simple connection string using the IBM data socket might look something like:
DRIVER={Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)}; SYSTEM=myAS400Name; UID=myUserName; PWD=myPassword;
(Remove the spaces after the semi-colons, which are there for readability.)
