Traditional system interface

 

The i5/OS^® traditional system interface is the full set of system commands and other non-SQL facilities that you can use to access and change DB2 Universal Database™ for iSeries™ data.

The traditional system interface provides control language (CL) commands to create and manage database objects. The system interface also has an integrated facility for describing data called data description specifications (DDS).

WebSphere^® Development Studio for iSeries, an IBM^® licensed program (5722-WDS), provides several utilities to describe and process data. The data file utility (DFU) can add, change, and delete data in a database file described by RPG, DDS, and the interactive data description utility (IDDU). The source entry utility (SEU) can specify and change data in files.
