When Cognos Analytics queries Snowflake (Database Vendor: https://snowflake.com), the data returned when a TIME datatype is used in the query should be exactly the same as the data stored at rest within a given table on Snowflake, without any conversion based on the difference in hours between UTC and how time is configured on the Operating System where the dispatcher is installed.

This would benefit any IBM Cognos customer who is using Snowflake as a data source and expecting data to not be modified in flight regardless of where the Cognos dispatchers are located in the World's 24 regional time zones.

Add SYSDISC DSNTIAUL format to REORG utility

Sometimes there's a need to repopulate DB2 tables concatenating outputs from REORG SYSDISC and DSNTIAUL in a single LOAD SYSREC file. So the idea is to have a parameter like REORG ... SYSDISC FORMAT INTERNAL|DSNTIAUL. Basically the difference betw...

The function LENGTH () also for BLOBs / CLOBs

Unfortunately, there is no SQL statement that returns the size of the blob. You have to use an external program to get such information. I wish the sql function length() worked for BLOBs/CLOBs.
