The LEBCO DB2/2 Database Utility is a Shareware program written
to allow me to qualify for the OS/2 Certification Program.
Its purpose is to read a Database (whose name you enter) then generate
a REXX program (MFGOS2EX.CMD) to rebuild the Database tables.
This Program was written with Watcom VXREXX Version 2.0
The output program will work with the REXX supplied with OS/2 2.x
* Note Please refer the VII for revised instructions on how to run MFGOS2.CMD
* <<< Correction to docs 5/7/94 >>>
I. Installation:
Unzip the Program (LEBCO.EXE into a directory)
Unzip the VROBJ.DLL into a directory which is Included in your LIBPATH
Unzip the STOP.ICO into same directoy as LEBCO.EXE
II. Limitations:
I have written this program to work with DB2/2 only!
I have tested this program with DB2/2 1.1 with Fix level 7015
I am reasonably sure that the program will not work with ES 1.0 DBM
III. Caveat:
I think, but have not tested it, that the output program (MFGOS2EX.CMD)
will allow you to import the Exported Database to ES 1.0 DBM
IV. How to Contact me:
1. On IBM NSC BBS send mail to LESLIE BENN
2. On OS/2 Shareware BBS in Virginia Send mail to LESLIE BENN
3. By Mail:

V. ShareWare:
This program took many hours to debug, and takes advantage of the information
retained by DB2/2. I would appreciate $25.00 to help defer the costs of development
of this product. It is not crippled and can work for you and all the DB2/2 Databases
you have.
This is not Freeware bul if you redistribute this program please include this README
VI. Run Instructions:
After installation Double click on the LEBCO.EXE program and press the Export Button.
The program will prompt you for Your DB2/2 Database Name (Alias name)
The Program Generates in its directory the Following Files:
1. MFGOS2EX.CMD (The table rebuild REXX Program)
2. DBTBLx.TXT where x = a number starting at 1 for each table in the
database. This data is used by MFGOS2EX.CMD to import the data extracted
from the Table you specified during Export.
3. Obviously...You must be able to pass DB2/2's security ...
You must log onto the Database just as you would do to Access the
database through Query Manager.
VII. Running MFGOS2EX.CMD: /* correction to documentation 5/7/94 */
Open PMREXX (Which is a standard utility provided with OS/2 2.x) with this CMD as the
input file. PMREXX provides the ability to chain from REXX to Create A new Database on
the destination Machine:
Have fun and I hope you find this program of value.
