Running applications under DB2

This topic describes Language Environment support for DB2® applications.

An application program requests DB2 services by using SQL statements imbedded in the program. The imbedded SQL is translated by the SQL pre-compiler into host language statements that typically perform assignments and then call a DB2 language interface module. The same entry point of the module is called by all Language Environment-conforming languages. DB2 processes the request and then returns to the application.
