Jerry, A DB2 external stored procedure executes "fenced" that is to say, outside of the DB2 normal address spaces. To do this, DB2 utilizes WLM Application Environments. In the definition (in the DB2 catalog) for the SP is the name of the load module to execute, and the application environment. When the SP is called, DB2 and WLM will get an address space running (using the PROC named in the WLM AE definition). A task in this address space will then link to the named load module. So the stored procedure program, along with any modules needed will execute in this WLM AE started task address space. Hope this helps,

Maybe this will help. We have a customer who says they have a: "compiled/linked COBOL load module invoked from a DB2 sp that runs in the WLM address space." That's what I need to understand. Does the COBOL module actually run within the WLM address space? Or does it run in a separate started task and such started tasks are what the SPs run within? Or can it be both and, if so, what determines where the COBOL module runs?
