A quick question to the group. Master The Mainframe account will not provide db2 and other ibm products for practice. I want an environment where can use db2 features. Any suggestion?

Did you resolve this issue? I’m also interested on DB2 and CICS access.

Try this: [Mainframe Access on Demand | Maintec Technologies](https://www.maintec.com/mainframe-on-demand.html).
Don’t think it’s expensive.

There is also Z Xplore, which claims to support Db2 skills growth. I’ve not tried it but it might be worth a look if you have time.
