Who thought that trying out the new UUID-related functions in Db2 12.1.3 could be that interesting? There are special bits in every UUID and NOW I know what to look for. Do you? Read my latest post https://data-henrik.de/2026/01/db2-generate-uuid-explained/

With some help from the SZE community, I can now log my service uptime and latency in #Db2 using #Golang !

I've got a service called CompInvZ which links into my Db2Z host to find services, then it periodically tries to connect and records the result back to DB2

A friend of mine took it a step further and is using #ISPF to interact with Db2 via #REXX

That means #CICS is next on the list, thanks #Walmart !

COBOL в XXI веке: почему банки и госслужбы не могут отказаться от языка 1959 года

Представьте, что расчёт вашей пенсии или миллионы банковских транзакций обрабатываются кодом, написанным до полёта человека в космос. COBOL живёт в мэйнфреймах банков, страховых и госслужб, и отказаться от него рискованно: один баг — и вся финансовая система может остановиться. Как старейший «серверный» язык справляется с XXI веком, где безопасность и гибкость важнее вечной стабильности?

Some twenty years ago you could just order stuff on the Internet for free. Big companies were giving away cool things: I remember you could get IA-32 programming manuals from Intel at zero cost (and zero shipping costs).
Me being stupid me got this. A whole package of IBM DB2 8.1 for AIX (32-bit) disks including learning materials.
I still wonder what to do with these.
There's zero chance of me stumbling upon an AIX-supported hardware.
