The zIIPs don't particularly affect JDBC or ODBC access to DB2 stored
procedures with DB2 V8 for z/OS, as far as I know. DB2 9 for z/OS does

level), they can

I have seen documentation that calls them CP's, GP's and specialty engines,
along with their specialty names (ICFs, IFLs, zIIPs, zAAPs, and ZOWIEs).

CP's that are not specialty engines are GP's.

We had a company in Milwaukee that got to use 7 IFL engines for free for about

big enough, and are likely to buy the engines, IBM can be very flexible. In
