Re: DB2 Question

Ted,

Big speculation here, but I think they might be referring to potential
problems with object allocation. As you may already know, it is pretty
common for day-end type routines to do an ENDSBS QINTER before performing
backups or other operations. If the GUI version uses ODBC, OLEDB, JDBC etc.,
then ending QINTER will not release the object allocations held by the GUI
applications. These allocations are actually held by the host server jobs
running under QSERVER.

If you can tell us a bit more about the technology used within the GUI
version, then someone might be able to provide a more concrete answer.

Regards,
