db2 file extension

[jhall01]

What the heck is a *.db2 file?

all I can find is that it is a dbase II file.

If it is a dbase II data file how can I open? Can I get an ODBC Driver to open it?

I have never used dbase(if it is in fact a dbase II data file) so please speak to me as if I were a child!

Are you certain of that? I remember dBaseII as using dbf files for data - but that was 15 years ago.

Yeah i look on several file extension sites and they say it is associated with dbase II but i thought dbase II data files were *.dbf

I also found that *.db2 are associated with CA-dbFast, but that is another dead end.

DB2 associates the file with comand line script.

I know there is data in there just don't know what it is.

Just a thought - have you tried changing it to .dbf and trying to import it into Access?

Well I did find this:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoc...sp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/ad/c0007609.htm

Looks like it might not be a data file at all but a precompiled Procedure Script for IBM's DB2. Guess I was wrong about it containing data.

Problem is this came from a poorly documented (meaning none) custom app that doesn't work and is no longer supported.

If anyone knows any more info or can shed some light, I would greatly apprciate it.
