Import AS400 Files into MS-SQL Server

using SSMS Server Import and Export Wizard

Step-by-Step using the SSMS SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to import AS400 files into SQL Server tables.  Note:  If you haven’t already done so, see my instructions to correct the IBM Data Providers that are used by the Wizard (Correcting the IBM Data Provider Mapping Files).

Note: Test both IBMDA400 and IBMDASQL for speed.  In my tests, IBMDASQL is much, much faster.
