I updated to the latest version of Power BI desktop (version from 4/23/2020) and can no longer connect to my iSeries data.  Dead in the water here, since working on dashboards is my entire work at home life right now.  Also, the Edit Queries option is GONE from this version, so am forced to create new data sources versus editing an SQL statement in the original queries to speed up refresh.
