Finding the DB2 version on z/OS

Question & Answer


Question

Sometimes you need to find out which version your DB2® system is. You can find the information by using the following procedure.

Answer

There is a DISPLAY GROUP command for DB2 on z/OS®. The data returned from this command includes the version number.

For example, if your DB2 command prefix is -D91C, then input /-D91C DISPLAY GROUP from SD.LOG. The following results would display, where the DB2 LVL shows that your current level is 910.


-D91C DISPLAY GROUP
DSN7100I -D91C DSN7GCMD 957
*** BEGIN DISPLAY OF GROUP(........) GROUP LEVEL(...) MODE(N )
