Tom, I posed this question about 3 months ago to this group and never got an answer. In fact our (IBM) sales person was supposed to check into it and they never got back to me. IBM's push is toward 64bit. I wanted to use 31 bit at the time because my first attempt with 64bit linux(about a year ago) on a z box was a disaster. I don't think it (linux 64bit) was ready for prime time at that point in time. Reluctantly, I installed(about 3 months ago) the 64 bit linux and 64 bit db2 and they played well together. Steve G

I've been trying to install a 31 bit DB2 instance under SLES9 (in this case, the 64 bit flavor). I went to the DB2 UDB Enterprise Server Edition V8.2 Trial site: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/reg/download.do?source=db2udbese82&S_TACT=105AGX28&S_CMP=DLMAIN&S_PKG=dl&cp=UTF-8 I've downloaded: DB2 UDB ESE V8.2 for for Linux on zSeries systems which gave me: ese_db2linux39064_v82_try_buy.tar.gz The next effect of the install is that I keep bringing up a 64 bit DB2, not a 31 bit. That is even when I specify a "-w 31" parm (to select the installation word size). When I looked at the ".rpm"s that were loaded, I find that they are all "s390x.rpm", and no "s390.rpm". Sound like I only have 64 bit code.... So, the question I'm posing, is where can I get a trial of 31 bit code? I need 31 bit as I need to test out with V7 clients which only work with 31 bit code. Worst case, I can go back to my DB2 for VM and VSE CDs that contain DB2/UDB V7 database code. But all the installation manuals I've found so far, have dealt with V8 DB2/UDB code. So, is there a magical place where I can get current, 31 bit code?
