Re: SQL with connections to multiple databases

When I look at the documentation, it shows both will work for *SYS but only
shows the period for *SQL. Is the documentation wrong for *SQL?

Wouldn't it have to be update library1.file1 (period instead of slash
separating)? When I hardcoded the library, I used library1/file1 and
it worked.

The database manager has allowed either a slash or a dot as the separator
for several releases now.
SQL vs SYS isn't about the separator so much as it is about *LIBL vs USERID.
