| Hi,
I am new to Smalltalk. I'm currently working on a project where we have
a need to access DB2 tables in mainframe. I'm using VisualWorks for
Smalltalk version 7.0.
Can anyone assist me how to access mainframe DB2 tables using
VisualWorks for Smalltalk?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

DB2 tables on mainframe (/390 MVS or VSE or ... iSeries) can be accesed
like any other DB2 database if you install the DB2 UDB Connect product.
Then you'll see the mainframe (or i5-iSeries-AS/400) database like any
other database cataloged on your workstation, accessible via ODBC, CLI
or even DB2 command line.
It is available in many flavors, from the single pc edition to the
"enterprise" edition running on a server.
Tipically the DB Administrator on the mainframe has some licensed CD to
spare or, in the worst case, some try-and-buy time-limited edition.
I did'nt remember if there's a downloadable free "developer" and/or time
limited edition, you can browse the ibm.com/software site or ... google.
On the developerworks IBM site there's a serie of 4 articles devoted to
all kinds of DB2 connection and configuration (ahm, er ... this come
from my works on a J... language) : they are maintained so when I need
them I google for "DB2 UDB Connectivity Cheat Sheets".
Good luck !!!
