75 ways to demystify DB2: #23: Techtip: Error SqlCode = -4700 returned to JCC applications after upgrading DB2/Z servers to V11 CM mode.
Recently we are seeing lot of cases where applications using IBM DB2 JDBC drivers(db2jcc.jar/db2jcc4.jar)) start failing with SqlCode = -4700 after DB2/zOS server upgrade to V11 CM (Compatibility mode).

This special register is not available in V11 CM and introduced in... [More]
