SYMPTOMS
The Mainframe APPC/LU6.2 Connection Wizard in SNA Server Manager incorrectly displays the option to connect to DB2 on VM or VSE. DB2 on VM or VSE is not a supported platform from DB2OLEDB provider or from ODBC driver for DB2.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem:
 * 1) Start SNA Server Manager.
 * 2) From the Tools menu, select Mainframe APPC/LU6.2 Connection Wizard.
 * 3) Click Next, and then select OLE DB Provider/ODBC Driver - DB2.
 * 4) Click Next. The following two options for Host Environment are displayed:


 * 1) * DB2 for MVS
 * 2) * DB2 for VM or VSE (SQL/DS)
