I am DB2 programmer.
Everyone in my village is saying that best way to execute SQLs is using SPUFI, but I am saying "No". I have read DFSDDLTO is most efficient.
Can someone be helping me to find the syntaxes?
Thank you. |

Learn to say "Yes". . .
If memory serves, DFSDDLTO is part of IMS, not DB2.
Native IMS does not "do" SQL - vis SPUFI or otherwise. If your data is in IMS databases, you need to use IMS commands.
If your data is in DB2, you can use SPUFI for testing or embed the sql in application code (which will most likely happen anyway). |

There is being some confusement with the SQLs and IMS. I am thinking DFSDDLTO may be what I too need to be using. Could please you elaborate on how I am calling the DFSDDLTO parameters in my program. This is being the
| Code: |
| CALL 'DFSDDLTO' USING ??? |
where I am thinking I must somehow be passing my SQLs. |

Hello Mr Dick,
I am believing from Mr Naan that we can be using the DFSDDLT0 program to be running my sqls. Then I must be calling this program inside my program and somehow be passing to it my sqls. |

Sorry, but we cannot. . . Please re-read my earlier reply.
DB2 SQLs are not run via DFSDDLT0. |

The functions that DFSDDLT0 provides include:
* Issuing any valid DL/I call against any database using:
o Any segment search argument (SSA) or PCB, or both
o Any SSA or AIB, or both
* Comparing the results of a call to expected results. This includes the contents of selected PCB fields, the data returned in the I/O area, or both.
* Printing the control statements, the results of calls, and the results of comparisons only when the output is useful, such as after an unequal compare.
* Dumping DL/I control blocks, the I/O buffer pool, or the entire batch region.
* Punching selected control statements into an output file to create new test data sets. This simplifies the construction of new test cases.
* Merging multiple input data sets into a single input data set using a SYSIN2 DD statement in the JCL. You can specify the final order of the merged statements in columns 73 to 80 of the DFSDDLT0 control statements.
* Sending messages to the z/OS® system console (with or without a reply).
* Repeating each call up to 9,999 times. |
and here is just one case where sequence number are needed

I have been reading with much interest the fine discussions pertaining to the DFSDDLT0 and yes indeed the questions of the SQLs and IMS and I would indeed wish to share with you my experience in this very areas.
Firstly:
| Quote: |

Let us clear up for all and once now that the DFSDDLT0 program does not process the SQLS in its current version. This is yes very true.
Now if I may be turning to address the questions of the SQLs and IMS in more generally. Here at the site where I am now working we make much use every day of the IMS transaction SQLTDLI which does let us query the IMS database with the SQLS. I have searched the fine manuals so that I might post you all a useful link but yet I have not the correct manual which elaborates. Therefore I post an example yes of the use for the SQLTDLI:
| Code: |
| SQLTDLI SELECT * FROM STOCK_LEVEL WHERE PROD-ID = AF435 |
That is how we use the transaction and now yes the result screen:
| Code: |
SQLTDLI V1.7 ...
processing 1 queries ...
PROD-ID STOCK-LEVEL REORDER-LEVEL
AF435 00978 100
query returned 1 rows from PSTOCKL alias STOCK_LEVEL
CLEAR SCREEN FOR NEXT QUERY
|
I hope this elaboration you will find useful.
Thank you.
Srinivas. |

This has been clear to most for a long, long time. . .
The output from your "transaction" shows a version/release number. Does it also show any copyright info? Do you know who is the vendor?
There are many add-on products that support many things that are not part of the products we use. When mentioning something that is not part of the standard product offering, it is best to note where the add-on originated. These are also known as site-specific in parts of the forum. |

Thank you, Mr Dick, for your kind welcoming words.
As far as I have known, SQLTDLI is yes an IBM transaction. We enter it on an IMS screen like any other IMS transaction. Everyone here uses it all the time as it is certainly the easy way to query the IMS dbs. But it is an interesting point yes that you raise because certainly too I cannot find SQLTDLI in the IMS manuals. No one I have ask knows so I will certainly talk to the DBA after his holiday as I would like to clear this up. There seems to be much uncertainty yes about this whole area.
Thank you

You're welcome

I looked several places and was also not able to find even the first "hit".
I've heard of several add-ons that support basic SQL for IMS, but they are all for-fee products. It will be interesting what is learned from your dba.
Enjoy the forums
