Problem:
Is it possible to pass an ODBC connection from another language such as C or powerbuilder and use the connection from OpenESQL.
Resolution:
This is not supported.
In COBOL you can do a GET HDBC or a GET HENV to get some ODBC handles to the OpenESQL connection. These handles can then be used in direct ODBC API calls.
However you cannot be passed an ODBC connection from C or Powerbuilder and bind that as an OpenESQL connection.
Under .Net you can do something like this if you use ADO.Net. You can be passed a .Net connection and transaction object and then bind the ado.net connection object to OpenESQL. That however is only under .Net.
Please see KB 24812 from more information on sharing a connection in .Net.
