Hi All,
In our project we have a requirement like: We need to refer a table in the
Teradata database (running in UNIX environment) from our mainframe job
directly.
Please let me if you are aware of any tool or utility that will help to access
the
Teradata tables from the mainframe job?
The best way to resolve this issue is to do the following:
1) Make sure the type of data set (VSAM vs. NON VSAM). If you have VSAM
cataloged in the MCAT you will need to work a little harder.
2) Uncatalog all of the NON Vsam data sets in the Master Cat
3) Build the Alias for the HLQ
4)

You would need to define the alias after moving the entries out of the
master catalog. You will probably get an IDC3009I 8-8 duplicate entry
(on the alias define) if you already have data sets residing in the
master catalog that begin with the alias.
