Application Building Guide
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 DB2 application development Web page at:
http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/ad
Notes:
- The DB2 Release Notes may contain updated compiler and
operating system information for supported platforms. The Release Notes
are available in flat text and HTML formats in the following paths on your
product CD-ROM, where <language_directory> is the directory for
the language you are using, and index.htm is the main HTML
file:
- Flat text file:
- doc/<language_directory>/release.txt (UNIX)
Doc\<language_directory>\release.txt (OS/2 and Windows)
- HTML file:
- doc/<language_directory>/db2ir/index.htm (UNIX)
Doc\<language_directory>\db2ir\index.htm (OS/2 and Windows)
- 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.
- Fortran. Fortran sample programs are not provided in DB2
version 7.1. For information on obtaining Fortran samples for
DB2 version 6.1, visit the DB2 Application Development web page given
above.
- 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.
- 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.
- Perl. Release 0.71 of the DB2 UDB driver
(DBD::DB2) for the Perl Database Interface (Perl DBI) is available
for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris and Windows NT. This driver can be
downloaded from:
http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/perl

shipped with DB2. For information on obtaining Object REXX,
visit:
