It is possible to do that, not with SUP, but with VERSION. Doing so leads to other complications. It only works if DB2 is installed in the same target zone. That in turn requires that DB2 be reinstalled with each new version of the operating system. There are different complications when DB2 is installed in a different target zone than z/OS. If both products install the macro in SYS1.MACLIB, the effect is that the macro is updated outside of SMP/E with respect to the z/OS target zone. It gets worse if there are two versions of DB2 installed. If DB2 installs it in a different target library, care must be taken by all users of the macro to concatenate the DB2 MACLIB ahead of the z/OS MACLIB. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
