I used it MS Access. It seems to work.
However, with large tables it may be slow. I don't know what happens to the
performance of the whole DB system if you try to access a TSM table through
it. Results may be unpredictable. It may be better to extract the data from
TSM offline via dsmadmc select. You can use the ODBC driver from Excel as
well. This may even be better for your decision support application.
Best regards
Gerhard
