  RDB name?  Do they have an independent ASP [iASP] with that name? 
 Such an ASP, because that is a separate DB2 on the same physical 
system, appears much like a LPAR such that access to the other 
databases by a user may appear much like access to a separate 
logical partition or system.  Output from WRKDEVD *ASP, WRKACTJOB 
JOB(*SYS), and WRKRDBDIRE would show indications of separate iASP 
from *SYSBAS.
