SAS/ACCESS Interface to DB2 Under z/OS 4 Passing Joins to DB2 Under z/OS 511REPEATRIGHT (RTRIM)SECONDSIGNSINSINHSQRTSTRIPSUBSTRSUMTANTANHTRANWRD (REPLACE)TRIMN (RTRIM)TRUNCUPCASE (UCASE)WEEKDAY (DAYOFWEEK)SQL_FUNCTIONS= ALL allows for SAS functions that have slightly differentbehavior from corresponding database functions that are passed down to the database.Only when SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL can the SAS/ACCESS engine also pass these SASSQL functions to DB2. Due to incompatibility in date and time functions between DB2and SAS, DB2 might not process them correctly. Check your results to determinewhether these functions are working as expected.DATEPART (DATE)LENGTHTIMEPART (TIME)TODAY (CURRENT DATE)TRANSLATEBecause none of these functions existed in DB2 before DB2 V6, these functions arenot passed to the DBMS in DB2 V5. These functions are also not passed to the DBMSwhen you connect using DRDA because there is no way to determine what location youare connected to and which functions are supported there.These functions are passed to the DBMS in DB2 V5, as well as DB2 V6 and later.They are not passed to the DBMS when you connect using DRDA.YEARMONTHDAYPassing Joins to DB2 Under z/OSWith these exceptions, multiple libref joins are passed to DB2 z/OS.3 If you specify the SERVER= option for one libref, you must also specify it for theothers, and its value must be the same for all librefs.
