Re: RXSQL talking to DB2 UDB on Linux/IFL
Hi Ed I don't have any experience with RXSQL, but on the VSE side... In order to use ISQL (a CICS transaction that allows interactive sql statements), you have to export the ISQL packages and import them over on UDB. I assume the same thing will have to be done for any product/code that you can't recompile using the UDB as the keeper of the packages.

Is anyone doing this and using RXSQL on VM to access the DB/2 UDB database?

Re: RXSQL talking to DB2 UDB on Linux/IFL
Hello Ed, there is a problem using RXSQL to run against DB2 for z/OS V8: "Getting SQLCODE -301 when inserting undefined variable (never assigned a value or RXSQL DROPped) to DB2 for z/OS V8. When a variable was undefined, it was considered to have a NULL value. The application works fine with DB2 for z/OS V7 but failed with SQLCODE -301 with DB2 for z/OS V8." The reason being: Prior to DB2 for z/OS V8 when an indicator variable is set to a negative number that indicates that you are specifying NULL value. The value of the actual variable did not matter when indicator variable is negative. DB2 for Z/OS V8 has added an extra restriction: the value of the actual variable must have a valid value. I understood UDB LUW has adopted the same changes in V8. So, you have to watch out for that. A temporary RXSQL FIX has been provided to circumvent the customer's situation. Contact DB2/VSE&VM support if you encounter similiar problem. Other than that, all RXSQL application running against DB2 for z/OS are fine. I hope this helps. ...Roland Ed Zell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: We are looking at a Z series box and the possibility of getting off DB/2 for VM and moving it to DB/2 UDB which would run under Linux on an IFL.

Re: RXSQL talking to DB2 UDB on Linux/IFL
If a communications path is available to the UDB server from VM and the DB2 client code on VM can connect to it, then RXSQL should have no problem with access. Subject to the restrictions that Eric mentioned.

Ed Appendix L of this manual lists from DRDA protocol info/restrictions ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/info/vr7/vmvse/db2v71ae.pdf It may depend on what release level of DB2/vm you are running...
