Is it possible to take Exam 701 ( IBM certified DBA for LUW) without
Exam 700 (DB2 fundamentals) .

(section : How to certify ) says the Exam 700 is a REQUIRED entry test.

Any comments?

I think you can take the 701 exam, but you will not become certified as a
DBA without 700.

This is correct. 701 w/o 700 is just a waste of time on the test takers
side.
