The MS Windows Software Developer Kit (SDK) is an optional feature of Ivory® Data Access. The Ivory Data Access OCX programming interface can be used by all Windows-based OCX-capable programming languages, such as C, Visual Basic, Delphi, etc. The OCX graphical interface facilitates the integration of Ivory Data Access functions, such as the ability to access mainframe relational or non-relational data sources (i.e. IMS, DL/1, DB2, VSAM, Adabas, CA-IDMS, CA-Datacom, PDS/PS) from a Visual Basic program.

The following Ivory Data Access functions are supported by the OCX interface:
