Update DB2 table using any utility

Post by hparthas » Fri Dec 02, 2011 11:17 pm

Hi all,

I have a requirement that I need to update the database once I get the feed, but the key fields will be inserted by another job. Based on the key fields i need to update other few column detail since those values are available in the file only.

Is there any utility which will update the values in the table. Also please suggest me how this can be done through re-org the database and then load the database.

I can do COBOL change for this - But This involves lot of changes, so dropped this suggestion.

Any help would be great.

Best Regards,
Harikrishnan

Until you post the actual requirement(s) there is no good reason people should waste time making suggestions :(

Lots of "things" can update values in tables. Which to use depends on specifics.

While you don't really want to do any work, COBOL may be the better alternative. COBOL is possibly the more generic way to do what you want and once working for one update could be easily cloned for the others.

Why might you believe what you wan could be accomplished by a re-org :?

If you provide some useful information, someone may have a better reply.
Have a good one
