Call External Stored Procedures

Hi,

Our company uses a lot of external stored procedures (mainly written in Cobol, Java). It would be great if the IDz gets a possibility to call them. After entering the input parameters, the result (e.g. output parameters or result sets) is displayed. Would help a lot with development/testing. There is such a possibility in the IBM Data Studio. IBM Data Studio support for Db2 for z/OS ends on March 31, 2025. IDz V17 supports only native SQL Stored Procedures.

    This issue has been fixed in release 16.0.7.  If you have the source DDL containing the create statement, you can use the actions to Run/Call Routine from the SQL Editor to call a routine of any language.  Additionally, you can now right-click on any stored procedure object in the Catalog Navigation folders and select the Call Routine action.  Running a stored procedure from the catalog does not require access to the original DDL source.
