    ANSI Dynamic SQL syntax in DB2 [789] for z/OS

    Is the above available?

    I've been looking at ISO/IEC 9075-2:2003 and the dynamic SQL syntax
    contained there works fine on Oracle when embedded in a COBOL
    application but I get errors such as:

    43 SQL0104N An unexpected token "'inlist'" was found
    following "ALLOCATE". Expected tokens may include:
    "<identifie r>".

    When trying to do this:

    exec sql allocate descriptor 'inlist' end-exec.

    Using DB2 LUW 9.1 on Linux - I really want it to work on z/OS though (we
    don't yet have 9 running on z/OS, but we could if we had to. We have 8
    on z/OS at the moment).

    In the past I've found DB2 to be more ANSI than Oracle if you like.

    Am I missing something or has this ANSI syntax not been implemented yet
    in DB2?

    Thanks
