How to check db2 version

Question

How to check db2 version on Z/OS using only SQL commands?

Thanks, Melita

Answer 1

There is a typo in your SQL. Fixed version is below:

SELECT GETVARIABLE('SYSIBM.VERSION') FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;

I ran this on the IBM Mainframe under Z/OS in QMF and got the following results. We are currently running DB2 Version 8 and upgrading to Ver 10.

DSN08015  -- Format seems to be DSNVVMMM
-- PPP IS PRODUCT STRING 'DSN'
-- VV IS VERSION NUMBER E.G. 08
-- MMM IS MAINTENANCE LEVEL E.G. 015
