With Version 7 Release 1, the RDS component is linkedited with the "RMODE ANY" option. This allows RDS to be loaded and executed above the 16MB line. This will free up valuable storage below the 16 MB line. As the RDS code will be loaded above the 16MB line before other storage is allocated, extremely storage constrained systems may need to increase their partition size to maximize their below the 16MB line free storage.
The format of the DBNAME directory source member, ARISDIRD, has been changed to support DRDA Online Requester support. See Setting Up the DBNAME Directory. See the DB2 Server for VSE System Administration manual.
