SAS/ACCESS Interface to
DB2 under
z/OS passes the following SAS functions to DB2 for processing
if the DBMS driver or client that you are using supports this function.
Where the DB2 function name differs from the SAS function name, the
DB2 name appears in parentheses. For more information, see
Passing Functions to the DBMS Using PROC SQL.

SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL allows for SAS functions that have slightly different
behavior from corresponding database functions that are passed down
to the database. Only when SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL can the
SAS/ACCESS engine
also pass these SAS SQL functions to DB2. Due to incompatibility in
date and time functions between DB2 and SAS, DB2 might not process
them correctly. Check your results to determine whether these functions
are working as expected.
| DATEPART (DATE) |
TODAY (CURRENT DATE) |
| LENGTH |
TRANSLATE |
| TIMEPART (TIME) |
These functions are
not passed to the DBMS in DB2 V5. None of them existed in DB2 prior
to DB2 V6.
Also,
there is no way to determine what location you are connected to and
which functions are supported when you connect using DRDA.
The following functions
are passed
to the DBMS in DB2 V5, V6, and later. They are not passed to the
DBMS when you connect using DRDA.
