Building Applications for UNIX** Environments

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. The exception is VisualAge for Basic; in this case, the precompiler is provided by VisualAge for Basic and not by DB2. For information on precompiler support built into any of the listed compilers, see that compiler's documentation.

Refer to the specific Quick Beginnings book for any of these platforms for information on the communication products supported by that platform's operating system.

Notes:

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

2. 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.

3. VisualAge for Basic. The product includes DB2 functions for embedded and static SQL, stored procedures, and User-Defined Functions (UDFs). It includes sample applications that connect to DB2 with embedded SQL, CLI and ODBC. The precompiler support for DB2 is provided by VisualAge for Basic. Refer to the VisualAge for Basic documentation for more information, especially for the versions of DB2 supported, and for details about the sample applications provided by the product.
