In order to better support SQL/DS users, Watcom is now making available 
a beta version its MAKEVIEW utility.  MAKEVIEW creates DB2/2 compatible 
views of system tables for SQL/DS databases.
     
If you connect to a SQL/DS system using the VX-REXX database objects, 
the ListColumns and ListTables methods will not function correctly.
Also, the VX-REXX SQL Editor will not list the tables or columns in 
your database. The reason for this is that the VX-REXX database 
controls assume the SQL/DS system tables are identical to those for 
DB2/2, which is not the case.  The MAKEVIEW program creates a number 
of database views that simulate the required system tables. After 
running MAKEVIEW, the VX-REXX SQL Editor and the individual methods 
listed above will function correctly.
     
You can download a copy of MAKEVIEW from the Watcom FTP site 
(ftp.watcom.on.ca) or our World Wide Web site (www.watcom.on.ca), or 
from our CompuServe form (type GO WATCOM).
