To access nonrelational sources, such as an IMS database or VSAM file, use the PowerExchange Navigator to create a data map that defines various physical and logical records. PowerExchange accepts a SQL statement in the normal way from the client and passes it to the PowerExchange Listener. The PowerExchange Listener accesses the database and gets the rows. PowerExchange accepts only a subset of the extensive SQL syntax. You must use only the SQL that PowerExchange supports for the SQL requests to be accepted.
The places where you can enter nonrelational SQL include:
SQL Statement
box in the
Database Row Test
dialog box
Pre SQL
and
Post SQL
session properties for a nonrelational source or target
