I would recommend running your online reorg at the tablespace level if possible, as the partition level reorgs will introduce a much higher outage during the build2 phase, as each NPI will be rebuilt serially, when they're rebuilt concurrently during the tablespace level reorg.

We support an active application (~ 30 million transactions per day) and reorg all our tablespaces online - many of which are partitioned heavily with from 2-12 NPI's each.

Since your SQL works with literals, I assume the parm problem is with the WHERE clause, not the SELECT list.

You can issue DESCRIBE INPUT to see how many parms (and what type) DB2 thinks there are - it will be populated in the SQLDA.

It helps if you list the parms correctly.

"EXECSQL OPEN C1 USING :dbname1, :obj1, :dsnum1, :dbname2, :obj2, :dsnum2" is correct.

"EXECSQL OPEN C1 USING :dbname1, :obj1, :dsnum1, :dbname2:, :obj2, :dsnum2" is not correct.

This is definitely an issue for those using EBCDIC CCSID 37, but may not be a problem for other CCSIDs.

Beware the "Not" Sign Problem!

We experienced a compatibility issue associated with usage of the 'not' sign character, ^ (caret) or ¬ (sideways-L). The V8 precompiler parses SQL in Unicode, so it converts the not sign ^ (x'5F') from source code into Unicode, then back to EBCDIC (CM and ENFM only) not sign ¬ (x'B0) in the DBRM.

The COALESCE will only evaluate the COLDATE2 column comparison if the COLDATE1 is NULL. Whereas the OR example will check COLDATE2 if COLDATE1 fails (regardless of whether it fails because it is NULL or it is outside the BETWEEN range).

Kathy, No, you don't need DB2 Connect. Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) is implemented via DB2 connect from Intel and RISC platforms. The reason for this is that IBM iSeries (AS/400) and zSeries platforms using the EBCDIC coding scheme (extra points for all of you out there who know what that stands for) must have their data streams translated into ASCII (ditto) for Intel and RISC... and vice versa.

But I was wondering for below:

1.- SYSCOPY CATALOG changes (Unicode) and the format of DB2 internal structures like OBID, PSID allows us to recover in V8 ?

2.- Does DSN1COPY works in this situation in a transparent fashion?

In order to convert it to Unicode, and longer columns et al, you run REORGs on the tablespaces. You have to take a new IC during or after a REORG so it's a different situation. You can't recover "through" a REORG or LOAD REPLACE (whether it is LOG YES or NO) so ICs taken before that time become useless for a recovery to current. It is the same situation as for "normal" tablespaces; it has nothing to do with the DB2 version difference. [...] 4618 18 25_SQL question v7 on os/39014_Zobjeck, A.

In DB2 Admin Guide (Chapter 4, section 'Extending DB2-managed data sets', paragraph 'Extending nonpartitioned spaces') we read:

They avoided the problems with negative numbers by staying with 2GB max even though VSAM supports 4GB and has for a while. If you look at how the RID is made up, 64GB is the maximum number of 4K pages that can be addressed with the 3 bytes available in the RID.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Your explanation does make sense. However, what I don't understand is why the Admin Guide mentions that the maximum partition size for nonpartition tablespaces is 4GB. We have, for example, a non-partitioned table space that spans over 6 volumes (3390 type 3) occupying 43695 tracks (2GB) in the first 5 volumes and 41670 tracks in the last one. Doesn't this make makes the tablespace occupy a lot more than 4GB?

I don't believe the dataset needs to exits prior to a recovery if it is not user defined.

[DB2-L] DB2 z/OS Version 7 - Number of DML statments per day.





















I was wondering if anyone would care to offer up the number of DML statements issued in their production subsystem for a normal workday.

I've poked around on the IBM sites and found a bunch of PDF formatted manuals. I have downloaded about 54 Mb worth so far! Now, as to reading all of that . Lucky for me that I'm on vacation!

We're considering utilizing HADR as our high-availability solution for a DB2 v8.2 fp10 database on Solaris. The database in question has a number of CLOB columns. In reading various sources of information about HADR (DB2 manuals, notes from IBM presentations, etc.) I'm getting conflicting information about whether or not CLOB's are supported and replicated in an HADR solution. I've also seen a question that came through the DB2-L archives on this topic with a fuzzy answer of "gee, maybe, I think so, but I'm not positive".

• DBA Things a Programmer Should Know There are times when DBA issues and Developer issues overlap. What does the DBA know that a Developer should know? And how can this knowledge be used to make designing and writing programs easier? What DDL parameters impact program design and data integrity? And what DB2 roadblocks exist that can make the most perfect program perform poorly? These questions and more will be answered.
