ODBC Driver

The ODBC driver can be used on the Windows platform and implements the ODBC 3.5 specification. It also provides the functions defined in the ODBC 2.5 specification to continue support for older applications.

The ODBC driver always calls the native CA IDMS SQL client interface directly. The native interface uses CAICCI/PC to communicate with any supported release of CA IDMS running on z/OS or z/VSE. This is referred to as the CCI Protocol in this document. It can also use TCP/IP to communicate directly with CA IDMS r17, or later, referred to as the IDMS protocol.
