Application Building Guide

Supported Software by Platform

This section lists the compilers and related software supported by DB2 for the platforms described in this book. The compiler information assumes that you are using the DB2 precompiler for that platform, and not the precompiler support that may be built into one of the listed compilers. Refer to the Quick Beginnings book for your operating system for information on the communication products it supports.

For the latest DB2 compiler information and related software updates, visit the Web page at:

Notes:

  1. The README file for a supported platform may contain updated information on compilers supported for that platform. The README file for a platform can be found in the directory in which the program files are installed.

  2. Fortran and REXX. DB2 will not enhance features for Fortran and REXX beyond the level of support for these languages in DB2 Universal Database Version 5.2.

  3. HP-UX. If you are migrating DB2 from HP-UX Version 10 or earlier to HP-UX Version 11, your DB2 programs must be re-precompiled with DB2 on HP-UX Version 11 (if they include embedded SQL), and must be re-compiled. This includes all DB2 applications, stored procedures, user-defined functions and user exit programs. As well, DB2 programs that are compiled on HP-UX Version 11 may not run on HP-UX Version 10 or earlier. DB2 programs that are compiled and run on HP-UX Version 10 may connect remotely to HP-UX Version 11 servers.

  4. Micro Focus COBOL. Any existing applications precompiled with DB2 Version 2.1.1 or earlier and compiled with Micro Focus COBOL should be re-precompiled with the current version of DB2, and then recompiled with Micro Focus COBOL. If these applications built with the earlier versions of the IBM precompiler are not re-precompiled, there is a possibility of database corruption if abnormal termination occurs.
