The following error messages might occur when you attempt to access DB2 8.1 Fix Pack 7 or later.
ERROR: Could not load /sas93home/SASFoundation/9.3/sasexe/sasdbu (35 images loaded)
ERROR: /sas93home/SASFoundation/9.3/sasexe/sasdbu : undefined symbol: db2Import
ERROR: The SAS/ACCESS Interface to DB2 cannot be loaded. The SASDBU code appendage could not be loaded.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
The db2Import symbol is required because of enhancements to the DB2 bulk-loading functionality that requires SAS/ACCESS
® Interface to DB2 to use the newer db2Load and db2Import interfaces. For more information about these enhancements, see SAS Note
19993: "SAS/ACCESS
® Interface to DB2 has been enhanced to use the new DB2 API interface for bulk loading and importing to DB2."
