read postings carefully! Using "/" as qualifier from SQL naming is throwing an error and using "." as qualifier is working for SQL and the non SQL mode!!!
Using naming *SYS is in contradiction to the spirit of SQL!!! It's some sort of joke having a true database, supporting referential integrity and searching tables by libl (think about!!!).
The SQL dialect of db2/400 doesn't allow select without from, other dialects would allow select current_date, just returning current_date, db2 enforces to use a from clause, if the table, you are using would have more than one record, you would get more than 1 result. So DB" introduced a table, existing in all installations, having one and only one record, ensured by a constraint and read only acces - this is sysibm.sysdummy1.
