It is defined in multiple DB2 subsystems. When I run it in SP Builder connected to one of these DB2 subsystems I have column names returned. When I do the same connected to other DB2 subsystem it returns only numbers fro column names. The same is if it is called from Java code. What can be the reason for this?" >> Can you answer pedjajov's question?
