Update AS400 from FileMaker

[sifter]

I am Using FM8.5, and have been using SQL statements to import data from our AS400 system into FileMaker for quite some time now.

Now, I would like to send data to the AS400 system. So I have been trying to use an UPDATE statement, but I guess I'm having trouble with the syntax. In actuality, I have no clue how to compose an SQL statement, so maybe that's the problem.

Can someone here share with me the proper syntax to use to update an AS400 system from FM.

I basically want to update a field in a record in our AS400 system for a specific part number....

So, where the part number in the AS400 equals 123, update the drawing number field in the AS400 with a value stored in FileMakers drawing number field.

Thanks for your help....
