dbExpress and BDP .NET driver for iSeries (AS/400) DB2/400 database access

DBEXPCA400 is a driver for connecting to iSeries (formerly called AS/400) databases via IBM's iSeries Access product through Borlands dbExpress database components.

PS.Data.iSeries.dll is a driver for connecting to iSeries (formerly called AS/400) databases via IBM's iSeries Access (Client Access/400) product through Borlands BDP .NET technology.

Requirements
------------
BDS 2006, Delphi 6-8, Delphi2005, C#Builder 1 or C++Builder version 6.
An installed version of iSeries Access (formerly called Client Access/400) is required.

The driver has so far been tested with

iSeries Access V5R3
iSeries Access V5R2
Client Access Express V5R1
Client Access Express V4R5
Client Access Express V4R4
Client Access V3R2

On the OS/400 side make sure the latest PTFs are applied, especially if you want to use the LOB features. The following DB2 group PTFs are
recommended:

OS/400 V5R3: SF99503
OS/400 V5R2: SF99502
OS/400 V5R1: SF99501
OS/400 V4R5: SF99105
OS/400 V4R4: SF99104

Currently most of driver testing is done with iSeries Access V5R3 against OS/400 V5R2. For LOB support at least V5R1 of Client Access and at least OS/400 V4R5 are required.
