Replication
IBM DB2/MVS Subscribers
IBM DB2/MVS subscriptions to Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 publications are supported through the OLE DB provider and ODBC driver that are included with Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000.
The following table maps SQL Server 2000 data types to IBM DB2/MVS data types. When you replicate to OLE DB or ODBC Subscribers, the distribution task maps SQL Server 2000 data types to the closest data type on the target database.
