Hi Mukesh,

IBM module names contain a prefix which relates to a component and product. The "IDC" in IDCAMS is the prefix IBM has assigned to Access Method Services (AMS), which is part of DFSMSdfp. The "AMS" is an abbreviation for Access Method Services.

Thanks,
Reddy

Hi Bhimalraj,

Also remember to remove filter for job names (if any) as follows...

> Goto SPOOL (SD;ST;)
> Type command as OWNER * (which means list jobs from all the owners)
> Type command PRE * (which means it lists all the jobs)

Thanks,
Reddy

Hi Rajendra,

Go to SDSF and give &n where n is number of seconds to refresh.

For example &10 will refresh every 10 seconds. You can come out of this by pressing SHIFT+ESC or ATTENTION KEY of your mainframe.

Thanks,
Reddy

Hi Srinivas,

In SPUFI like tool we can use directly NULL to insert null values..

Ex: INSERT INTO TABLE1(COL1,COL2) VALUES (102,NULL);

This will insert a null value into second column of the table.

Also we can use same type of syntax for UPDATE.

Thanks,
Reddy

Hi Prabhakar, I dont think we can update a derived column directly in DB2. Instead we need to update base column from which the new column is derived. For example a column ANNUAL_SALRY is derived from a base column salary as SAL*12. Then if we modify the ANNUAL_SALARY it will not effect on base colu...

Hi,

EXPLAIN statement inserts a row into PLAN TABLE usually named as PLAN_TABLE. This table contains several columns used to estimate cost for executing a query.

After executing EXPLAIN. Use select statement on PLAN_TABLE to see the cost of execution.

Thanks,
Reddy.
