The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

I checked the Db2 SQL ref, and it didn't have anything about Base64 encoding (except as an XML parameter).
Some days I think it's just me, but I have a devil of a time finding
out about the new Db2 functionality. The functionality is spread
across three different 'places' that I know of - Db2, System,
SYSTOOLS, and the documentation is similarly spread out across the
Knowledge Center, DeveloperWorks, and Redbooks. In an effort to keep
my head above water, I've started to put pages into the Midrange Wiki,
so that I can find things again. It's a very early effort, so it's
very incomplete, but at least I get a link to the general place where
I need to go to find the docs.
SYSTOOLS is the Db2 version of QUSRTOOL, if I can be forgiven this
stretch.

The page there has this to say about SYSTOOLS:
'...It is the intention of IBM to add content dynamically to SYSTOOLS,
either on base releases or through PTFs for field releases. A best
practice for customers who are interested in such tools would be to
periodically review the contents of SYSTOOLS.'
There's an older piece called 'Accessing web services using IBM DB2
for i HTTP UDFs and UDTFs ' that references BASE64ENCODE at
