Hi Reinhard,
last week I've been away from office, therefore I didn't answer your email
up til now.
I really doubt being able to help a lot with your actual question.
Theoretical you should be able to work from windows against DB2 on all
different platforms in the same way.
But talking about DB2/390 it depends a lot on which version's are
installed, on the various steps you go through your architecture. Beginning
with the win-client, the connect-gateway, the communication-protocol's used
on the way, and last but least the version's of the used host-software,
e.g. DDF / TCP/IP-Stack/ OS/390 or z/OS and finally DB2 and how everything
fit's together.
Just to repeat it again,
if you have the most recent package's with applicable fixpak's and
everything composed ( bind and so on ) neatly together,
you should be able to work the same way as in a windows-only environment.
But that is not the simplest thing to reach, and must be accomplished by
the people ( system + db-admin's ) in charge at your shop.
On OS/390 it may as well be a matter of additonal license fee's for one or
more of the needed components, that you don't need anywhere else.
If have done it, already with DB2/v6 on OS/390 starting to try to get it in
DB2/V4.9 ! Actually we ( new firm now) have DB2/V7 on OS390 and I don`t
know if I could do it here as I'am not working on DB2/390 here.

�berpr�ft]
Hello Manfred,
I have an additional question about the content of a BLOB of a DB2 database
on MVS,
maybe you can help me again.
If I make a select statement to a BLOB on a Windows DB2 database I get the
whole
BLOB content. But if I do the same against a DB2 on MVS than I one or more
BLOB's
for one ID (in my case PERM_ID), depending on the size of the BLOB.
Ok, but how can I now "download" these two BLOB's to my file system? Is
there a way to do it
with SELECT statement, like SELECT content from table sum(ID). Or have I
look in the result how many
rows I found an than I have to concatenate both? And how do I know which is
the first, the secound....?
Because I use the wrong order the result will be corupted.
Thank you,
Reinhard
