Problem:

DB2 application returned SQLCODE -1403 on connect statement

Resolution:

sqlcode =-1403 The username and or/ password supplied is incorrect for DB2 ECM interface if you use the host variables for userid and password in the connect statement and these host variables are longer then actual name and password.To resolve use null termination (Example: Move 'userid' & x'00' to db-userid) to both user nme and password.

This should no longer occur with Net Express 3.1 and later.
