The DirectConnect for z/OS Option DB2 access services are a primary means of accessing mainframe data through the gateway. These DB2 access service features are:
Datatype translation – datatypes used by LAN client applications match those used on the mainframe.
SQL transformation – SQL used by LAN client applications is matched to the SQL used by mainframe applications.
