Check whether rs is null. The code should look something like this. And the
second field in the query should be of type string. I dont think jdbc
converts automatically.

ResultSet rs = stat.executeQuery(query);
try{
 while(rs.next()){
   sd = rs.getString(2);
 }
}catch(Exception e)

 System.out.println(e.toString());
}
If you have any questions let me know.

JDBCServlet.java:115: Variable rs may not have been initialized.
 String sd  =  rs.getString(2);
               �
JDBCServlet.java:115: Exception java.sql.SQLException must be caught, or it
must
 be declared in the throws clause of this method.
 String sd  =  rs.getString(2);

p.s.  the 2 is meant to refer to line 2 of a db2 table I am accessing this
table from OS/390

I can't find and correct the error (been working on this for hours)  I dont'
have a debugger and
write entirely in notepad....
suggestions?

thanks,
Kelsey
