V9 client unable to connect to V7 server!

[Burkhard Schultheis]

I thought, clients were able to connect to servers not more than 2
release levels apart. But DB2 Express C V9 Win isn't able to connect to
a V7 server (AIX). V8 server (Linux) is OK.

I believe 7.2 and 8.2 count as releases.

The "DB2 client overview" section of the DB2 Quick |Beginnings for
Clients book states the following:

DB2 clients can |connect to DB2 servers two releases later or one
release earlier than the |client's release level, as well as to servers
at the same release level.
