Can a DB2 table be updated through an application program (COBOL), if my TSO id doesn't have EDIT Privileges to that table? I am submitting a job which updates a DB2 table, but my TSO ID doesn't have the the EDIT access to that table.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Yes, cobol can be used to update db2 tables.

if my TSO id doesn't have EDIT Privileges to that table

You need to clarify this - there is no EDIT privilege for either a database or a table. When you submit your job, what diagnostic info is shown by the system? If you post the diagnostic info including tha message-id's, someone here should be able to help.
