Features of the DB2 interface
Here
are some of the features of the ULTIM language that apply to the processing of DB2 databases. Some are shown in the example below.
- Ability to automatically convert parts or the whole DB2 dictionary into an ULTIM dictionary.
- Selection of the elements to be processed using either the existing dictionary or a SELECT clause in the program.
- Run-time selection of the subsystem through the ULTIM control file.
- Automatic management of the link protocols to the databases.
- Access to the return code of the coded or generated SQL statement.
Example of dictionary coded in ULTIM, with some fields definitions in COBOL
