There is a typo in your SQL  Fixed version is below   SELECT GETVARIABLE  SYSIBM VERSION   FROM SYSIBM SYSDUMMY1   I ran this on the IBM Mainframe under Z OS in QMF and got the following results  We are currently running DB2 Version 8 and upgrading to Ver 10   DSN08015  -- Format seems to be DSNVVMMM -- PPP IS PRODUCT STRING  DSN  -- VV IS VERSION NUMBER E G  08 -- MMM IS MAINTENANCE LEVEL E G  015

You can query for the built-in session variables with SQL  To identify the version of DB2 on z OS  you need the SYSIBM VERSION variable  This will return the PRDID - the product identifier  You can look up the human-readable version in the Knowledge Center    SELECT GETVARIABLE  SYSIBM VERSION   FROM SYSIBM SYSDUMMY1   -- for example  the above returns DSN10015 -- DSN10015 identifies DB2 10 in new-function mode  see second link above

In AIX you can try   db2level   Example output   db2level DB21085I  This instance or install  instance name  where applicable   db2inst1   uses  64  bits and DB2 code release  SQL09077  with level identifier  08080107   Informational tokens are  DB2 v9 7 0 7    s121002    IP23367   and Fix Pack  7   Product is installed at   db2 09 07

You can try the following query   SELECT service level  fixpack num FROM TABLE    sysproc env get inst info      as INSTANCEINFO   It works on LUW  so I can t guarantee that it ll work on z OS  but it s worth a shot

User · Answer

In z OS while on version 10  use of CURRENT APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY is not allowed  You will have to resort to  SELECT GETVARIABLE  SYSIBM VERSION   AS VERSION         GETVARIABLE  SYSIBM NEWFUN    AS COMPATIBILITY FROM SYSIBM SYSDUMMY1   Here is a link to all the variables available  https   www ibm com support knowledgecenter SSEPEK 12 0 0 sqlref src tpc db2z refs2builtinsessionvars html db2z refs2builtinsessionvars

There is also the env inst info admin view  As with CanSpice I can only vouch for LUW  but there should at least be a similar view available for Z OS   SELECT   FROM SYSIBMADM ENV INST INFO
