I understand - but this my be wrong understaning - that Java programs can access data bases via JDBC, and this will connect through TCP/IP to a suitable DBRM on the remote host. Does our statement mean that running such a Java program on z/OS would need a local DB2? -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
