Hi,
as I already mentioned this morning, you don't need anything special in
perl to access a DB2 on a mainframe nor on any other operating system.
All You need is dbi and depending on how you like it e.g. dbd::db2 or
dbd:odbc !
On the machine where you run your perl script you need the db2-connection
properly configured to your target-db2-system.
To show you the basics I just quote from the dbd::db2 standard example :
> #!/usr/local/bin/perl
>
> use DBI;
> use DBD::DB2::Constants;
> use DBD::DB2 qw($attrib_int $attrib_char $attrib_float
> $attrib_date $attrib_ts);
>
> # an extraneous example of the syntax for creating a new
> # attribute type
> $attrib_dec = { %$attrib_int,
> 'db2_type' => SQL_DECIMAL,
> 'SCALE' => 2,
> 'PRECISION' => 31 };
>
> #$DBI::dbi_debug=9; # increase the debug output
>
>
> # Open a connection and set LongReadLen to maximum size of column
Here you have to add the cataloged db2-alias e.g. D2HOST for your mainframe
> $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:DB2:D2HOST","","", { LongReadLen => 102400 } );
> if (!defined($dbh)) { exit; }
OR e.g. "D2NT" for your DB2-UDB on a NT-Server
> $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:DB2:D2NT","","", { LongReadLen => 102400 } );
> if (!defined($dbh)) { exit; }
Everything else remains the same! The only thing are possible
sql-syntax-differences on different db2-versions.

Thema: Re: Access into MVS DB2 using DBI
or ???

You normally need DBI *and* the appropriate DBD:: module for your
particular database - in this case probably DBD::DB2. I have no
experience connecting to MVS DB2 so I can't offer any more help here.

Uuncertain where to start or really what to use to try and see
if I can do this? I searched under Activestate and found a large group
of DBI modules.
Do I just need DBI? Or are there other modules which I work with
DBI?
I am on XP Professional running service pack 1 and Perl AS 5.8.2
build 808.
Any questions and/or problems, please let me know.
Thanks.
Wags ;)
