Dear Paul, DbtuFpsLib is a framework for easy processing of the output buffer (the output buffer is the result of a db2GetSnapshot() call). If you take an snapshot with db2GetSnapshot() you have to do a lot of coding (since V5) to process the resulting informations. With DbtuFpsLib you call DbtuFps_BuildUp() which walks through the output buffer and builds up the FPS buffer. This buffer is much more formated and much easier to process -> this results in a minimum of coding for you. You can also use DbtuFpsLib to format the data for printing (also reduces the lines of code in your coding). About other UNIX? I think there is no real problem, I included an Makefile for solaris and an other guy tested it under AIX. You only have to change the linker parameters, compiler and DB2 path to suite your enviroment - thats it!
