Purpose

This technical note explains how to write Siebel VB or eScript queries to prevent unwanted database threads on DB2 for z/OS and OS/390. Careful handling is required because of how the cursor in DB2 behaves when the script completes. The choice between ForwardOnly or ForwardBackward cursor modes affects the number of active database threads on DB2 for z/OS and OS/390. This choice must be made by the script to prevent exceeding storage limitations in DB2.
