First let me say THANK YOU! for trying to help. I've been beating my
head on this one for a couple days now....
I tried what you suggested and basically got the same error:
DBI connect('database=USNETAALDSN2','Z156505',...) failed: [IBM][CLI
Driver] CLI
0124E Invalid argument value. SQLSTATE=HY009 at aactss.pl line 38
Uncaught exception from user code:

nt value. SQLSTATE=HY009 at aactss.pl line 38.

I'm no DB2 expert, but a quick google revealed that that error message
means that DB2 is not liking something about your $dsn. The first thing
I don't know is whether that database showed up in your list of
DB2 datasources. If it is showing up, try just passing the DataSource
Name in the $dsn portion of the connect string:
my $dsn = 'USNETAALDSN2';
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:DB2:$dsn",$user,$pass) or die $DBI::errstr;
According to perldoc DBD::DB2, your format is correct for an
un-cataloged database. I'm wondering if the database name on the OS/390
box is different from the alias that you have cataloged on your local
box, since this format uses the database name on the host, not the DSN
name that as it's cataloged on the client.
