You have a number of options. Disclaimer: I'm not a DB2 z/OS expert.

You can unload the data on the mainframe into a flat file; FTP the
file and load it on NT.

With DB2 Connect, you can use the EXPORT command to export the data
to a flat file on the NT box.

You could also define nickname(s) on the NT server that reference the
table(s) on the mainframe to allow you to do 'load from cursor' or
even 'insert into ... select' (yuck, if you have a lot of data).
