Error trying to read data form a DB2 file on an AS400

[Anonymous]

When I try to read data from a DB2 file (to the tLogRow) I am getting the errors below.
I connect OK (the Check is successful) using an ODBC connection (defined on my computer) and also when I use the AS400 connection that comes with open studio.
(I never got the two "DB2" types of connections to pass the check).
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm not sure what Shlomo's solution was, but I can provide mine. I was also getting the "*FILE not found" error with an ODBC connection to JD Edwards' DB2. I was using the "iSeries Access for ODBC Driver". When I changed the driver to the "Client Access ODBC Driver (32 bit)" the error did not come up.
Hope this helps

Why didn't you use the AS400 component and jdbc ?

Neth - I'm experienced with ODBC but fairly new to AS/400... I originally tried the AS/400 component and once I saw that hex values were coming back decided to try the iSeries ODBC driver. Since the output was clean it made my decision.
