Using mtsmaker on z/OS

When using the adapters for DB2® on z/OS®, use mtsmaker to assist with generating a type tree for a query, table, or view when you do not have connectivity between the Database Interface Designer and your database. Note the following when using mtsmaker on z/OS:

• When you use mtsmaker and do not specify all required adapter commands, you are not prompted for this information. If an adapter command is missing or incorrect, the program reports this fact and stops running.
• Typing -H or ? on the command line does not access help for the parameters.
• You can use a database/query file (.mdq) that was created with the Database Interface Designer in your z/OS environment by transferring it, in TEXT mode, to the system hosting your database. Transfer all .mdq files and tree script files (.mts) in TEXT mode. For example, the following settings are used: ASCII/EBCDIC translation and carriage-return/line-feed delimiters. Use the ASCII and CRLF options of the IND$FILE transfer program or the ASCII option of FTP.
• Wherever a file name is coded, it must refer to a DDNAME, never to a dataset name.
