HOW DOES AN IMS BMP PROGRAM INTERACT WITH DB2? | by Tom Moulder
Dear Ask the Expert,
How does an IMS BMP program interact with DB2? Why must the PLAN name
be the same as the PSB name that we are using? Also, how does IMS DLI
interact with DB2?

When talking about MQ performance, what are the measurables and how

NEED HELP RUNNING COBOL PROGRAM CALLED BY REXX? | by Tom Ross
Dear Ask the Expert,
I have an OS/390 ISPF LE/COBOL SQL application that calls other
LE/COBOL SQL programs. The application LIBDEFs the ISPLLIB and starts
the TSO DB2 command processor... When DSN is executed from a CLIST,
the main program is found, the subprograms are found and all the SQLs
are okay. When executed from REXX, the main program is found, the
SQLs in the main program are okay, the subprograms are found, but the
SQLs in the subprogram fail because the DB2 address space is
inaccessible. Why?
