When the list comes up. Type a 1 on the first line and enter a descriptive name (ORACLEBOX) in the ENTRY column. When you press enter you will be able to enter the IP address or host name, be sure the type field is *IP.

After the entry has been added, you can put SQL statements in your LE programs and connect, select, update, and so forth using the entry name (ORACLEBOX) in the RDB entry. You will need to change the type of your RPGLE program to SQLRPGLE.

We used this technique to connect to a DB2 data base running on blade servers that were running linux and websphere.
