How to check db2 version

Question

How to check db2 version on Z/OS using only SQL commands?

Thanks, Melita

Answer 1

For DB2:

"SELECT * FROM SYSIBMADM.ENV_INST_INFO" - SERVICE_LEVEL

Answer 2

In z/OS while on version 10, use of CURRENT APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY is not allowed. You will have to resort to:

SELECT GETVARIABLE('SYSIBM.VERSION') AS VERSION,
       GETVARIABLE('SYSIBM.NEWFUN')  AS COMPATIBILITY
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;

Here is a link to all the variables available: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPEK_12.0.0/sqlref/src/tpc/db2z_refs2builtinsessionvars.html#db2z_refs2builtinsessionvars

Answer 3

Another one in v11:

select CURRENT APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY from sysibm.sysdummy1

Result:

V11R1

It's not the current version, but the current configured level for the application.

Answer 4

There is also the env_inst_info admin view. As with CanSpice I can only vouch for LUW, but there should at least be a similar view available for Z/OS.

SELECT * FROM SYSIBMADM.ENV_INST_INFO

Answer 5

Both worked for me.

SELECT * FROM TABLE(SYSPROC.ENV_GET_INST_INFO());

or

SELECT * FROM SYSIBMADM.ENV_INST_INFO;

Answer 6

SELECT GETVARIABLE(('SYSIBM.VERSION')
 FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;
-- PPP IS PRODUCT STRING 'DSN'
-- VV IS VERSION NUMBER E.G., 10, 11
-- M IS MAINTENANCE LEVEL E.G. 5

-DISPLAY GROUP
 THIS WILL DISPLAY THE LEVEL CM, ENFM, N
