I am using DB2 UDB Application development client v8.2.5. I am trying
to setup a linked server in MS SQL Enterprise Manager using the IBM OLE
DB Provider for DB2 to connect to databases on DB2 for z/OS v7 and v8.

The connection string I used is Provider=IBMDADB2;Data Source=xxxx
and location C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN.

After creating the connection, when I click on the tables/views under
that linked server, I get the following error..

Error 7303: Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB Provider
'IBMDADB2'
OLE DB error trace[OLE/DB provider 'IBMDADB2' IDBInitialize::Initialize
returned 0x8004d01c]


Please help.
