I can't tell you since I don't use DB2 anymore and we don't have a mainframe where I work. I would expect that DB2 would work the same regardless of OS. (not counting OS limitations ) IBM didn't consider it a bug. I was doing work for American Transtech at the time (a subsidiary of ATT, certainly a large enough customer to get attention). People couldn't bind apps concurrently, but since the machine was fast enough people wouldn't notice. Jim Received on Thu Oct 21 2004 - 20:36:35 CDT
