I guess that the problem is that by copying DSNRLI to DSNHLI and calling that,
you get two seperate instances of DSNRLI; one that does the initialization and
the other one that routes the SQL calls, and this way it does not work because
the connection is established by the one instance (called from the non-DB2
program), and the other one (renamed DSNHLI) does not know about the connection.

Similar situation, if you use DSNULI. I didn't know about DSNULI, but I read
some information right now:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPEK_11.0.0/com.ibm.db2z11.doc.apsg/src/tpc/db2z_linkeditdsnuli.dita?lang=en

Long before DSNULI existed, we did the same thing at a site of a former customer
of mine, but: we examined the environment ourselves, and: we took care that only
one instance of every IBM interface exists at any given time, and we route all
calls through this one instance, even the initialization calls (in the case of
the CAF or RRSAF interfaces).

We do this all the time - checking on first call to "our own" DSNHLI,
if there is already a connection to DB2 and, if not, what kind of connection
is required (TSO, IMS, Batch/CAF, Batch/RRSAF - no CICS here), then
establish the correct connection based on specified or looked-up subsystem
and plan informations, then calling the appropriate IBM language interface.

"Our" DSNHLI replacement is only a little stub which calls the logic that
I described above dynamically (MVS LOAD, entry point statically stored,
module loaded only once).

I'm not allowed to share the code, because it belongs to my customer,
but I'm certainly allowed to tell you about some technical details and
answer questions about it.

Kind regards
