Workstation application development tools

A wide variety of tools are available for performing tasks such as querying a database. These tools include ODBC-based tools such as Lotus® Approach, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Excel, and many others.

The ODBC-based tools provide a simpler alternative to developing applications than using a high-level programming language. QMF™ for Workstation provides access to DB2® data for these tools. With all of these tools, you can specify DB2 for z/OS® as the database to access.
