Well I'm new to both Perl and DBD::DB2, so please bare with me. I've installed the latest Active state Perl, the latest DBI and DBD::DB2 from CPAN. I'm trying to develop a program that runs on a Windows server that does a SELECT from a DB2 that's on an Os/390 box running several DB2's. What I'm looking for is a good example of a program that does that. Here's what I have, but I can't make the connection work...... use warnings; use strict; use diagnostics; use DBI; use DBD::DB2; use DBD::DB2::CONSTANTS; print "Operating System = $^O\n"; print "Perl Binary = $^X\n"; print "Perl Version = $]\n"; print "DBI Version = $DBI::VERSION\n"; print "DBD::DB2 Version = $DBD::DB2::VERSION\n\n"; my @DB2DataSources = DBI->data_sources("DB2"); print "Available DB2 DSNs:\n\n"; foreach my $dsn ( @DB2DataSources ) { print " $dsn \n"; } my $hostname = "dsn2.prdpl.abc123.com"; # This is the hostname of the server you are wanting to connect to. my $port = "5002"; # dsn port number. my $protocol = "TCPIP"; # communication protocol my $database = "DSN2"; # This is the database name that you are connecting to on the above host. my $user = "G156505"; # User that is connecting to the database my $password = "xxxxxx12"; # Password the User is connecting to the database # my $dsnx = "dbi:DB2:database=$database; HOSTNAME=$hostname; PORT=$port; PROTOCOL=$protocol; UID=$user; PWD=$password;"; # my $dsnx = "dbi:DB2:database=USNETAALDSN2"; my $dsnx = "dbi:DB2:database=$database; HOSTNAME=$hostname; PORT=$port; PROTOCOL=$protocol; UID=$user; PWD=$password;";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsnx, $user, $password) || die "Connection failed with error: $DBI::errstr"; my $sql = qq( SELECT CUS_NBR, CUS_LST_NM FROM TEST.XXXR0471_CUSTAB WHERE CUS_NBR = 535077); print $sql; my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $sql ); $sth->execute(); # Execute the select statement my ( $cusno, $lastname ); $sth->bind_columns( undef, \$cusno, \$lastname ); while( $sth->fetch() ) { print "$empno, $lastname\n"; } $sth->finish(); # Tell the database handle you are finished with it. $sth->disconnect(); # Disconnect from the database.
