DML against remote tables (MSSQL to DB2)

I created a linked server to a DB2 database and I can pull data fine, but when I try to insert/update/delete it tells me "SQL0471N Invocation of routine "SYSIBM.SQLTABLES" failed due to reason "00E7900C"" when trying: DELETE FROM DB2LinkedServer..SPACENAME.TABLENAME

I believe I need to send a clear string to DB2 that doesn't get compiled on the sql server side. Is there something like openquery that I can use for DML statements in SQL Server?Upon further review I found this site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270119/EN-US/

It shows how to use openquery to execute DML statements. nifty.
