Default Function Mappings

The default mappings HCOSS uses to convert DB2 aggregate and scalar functions to SQL Server equivalents.

Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments only.

Note: In addition to these default mappings, you can also define customized mappings. See Customizing Functions and Special Registers for more information.

z/OS DB2 Aggregate Functions in HCOSS

All of the following aggregate functions are fully supported:

AVG
COUNT
COUNT_BIG
MAX
MIN
STDDEV or STDDEV_SAMP
SUM
