Re: IBM DB2 Version 9 for z/OS
I'd like to clarify my note to Steve which I hadn't meant to send to the list - The PA meetings are not better (how would I know if I hadn't been to Columbia), but based on topics presented in the meeting notices, the topics in Harrisburg have been more interesting to me. Didn't mean to disparage the Balt-DC DB2 users group. Jim Harrison wrote: Steve, is this for the Balt-DC DB2 user group?? I work about 15 minutes from there.

Most of the stuff we teach can be a little boring so we try to slip in surprises in the data to see if anyone catches it. It's not a big laugh, but every bit helps. :-) -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Comstock Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 15:42 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: IBM DB2 Version 9 for z/OS Roland Schiradin wrote: Haven't tried but the DB2 LOAD support paths for LOB columns.

Re: IBM DB2 Version 9 for z/OS
Steve, is this for the Balt-DC DB2 user group?? I work about 15 minutes from there. I've never been to their meetings - where I live it's move convenient to attend the PA meetings in Harrisburg, which are free and usually better. But if you are presenting, I may take the day and go to Columbia. Steve Comstock wrote: I have; works fine for BLOBs anyway.

It's by invitation, but you might be eligible. I'm forwarding this note to John Cress who is in charge of the program. I'm doing all morining on DB2 V9 and all afternoon on Enterprise COBOL. If you want the details, drop John a note. Tell him who you work for, since the audience is culled from his client and prospect list, so that might make a difference. If you prefer to call him, you can reach him at 410-707-9522.

IBM DB2 Version 9 for z/OS
Dear all, Is it possible to use for the DB2 LOAD UTILITY (DB2 Version 9 for z/OS) a file from Unix Filesystem? I mean can a PATH parameter be given to the DD statement refering a file in a zFS instead of having a normal MVS dataset?
