Use the QMF CONNECT command to connect to a different system within your distributed network with remote unit of work during a QMF session.

Note: The CONNECT command for z/OS has been changed in DB2 QMF Version 8.1 to support an authorization ID of 128 bytes. The authorization ID must be delimited with double quotes to continue across more than one line within a QMF linear procedure. All continuation lines must have a plus (+) sign in column one. For more information, see DB2 QMF Reference. DB2 QMF Version 8.1 will not support the connection to a database containing a QMF object table that has an authorization ID with a maximum length shorter than the current authorization ID being used for the connection. For example, if your current authorization ID is "A23456789" and you are trying to connect to a database that contains QMF object tables that have an authorization ID maximum length of 8, an error will be returned and connection to the database will not be made.
