The only DB2 book written from the COBOL programmer’s
point of view.
That’s right. Unlike other DB2 books, this book
focuses right from the start on what you need to know
to access and process DB2 data in your application programs
using embedded SQL. You’ll learn:
- the critical DB2 concepts that let you understand
how DB2 works so you can program more easily and logically
- the basic DB2 coding features you’ll use in
every program you write
- how to use features like outer joins and the explicit
syntax for inner joins that simplify your coding
- how to work with column functions, scalar functions,
and subqueries to manipulate DB2 data
- how to handle the complications caused by variable-length
data and null values in DB2 tables
- how to use error handling techniques and ROLLBACK
to protect DB2 data
- why program efficiency is vital under DB2…and
how to use the locking features right so you don’t
tie up the whole system
- how to use SPUFI and QMF to create the test tables
you need to debug your programs
- how to develop DB2 programs interactively (using
DB2I, a TSO facility) or in batch
12 sample programs guide you each step of the way.
And once you’re on the job, they serve as time-saving
models for your own programs.

DB2 using this book. Get your copy TODAY!
