One of our customer hope to use SAS software on IBM z Linux .

Could the following SAS software run on IBM z Linux (Linux Distributor will be SUSE) ?

・Base SAS Software、
・SAS/ACCESS Interface to ORACLE Software---(1)
・SAS/CONNECT Software------(2)
・SAS/IntrNet Software
・SAS/SHARE Software

　Version ：SAS 9.1.3

(1) and (2) software will be used to connect IBM Db2 on z Linux

These software are used on hp-ux server now.

The following answer is 'No '. But is this answer right still now ?

On z/OS, you run SAS from TSO.

AFAIK, the modules are all available. You need to use the DB/2 ACCESS module, not the one for Oracle.
