Narrative:

On the arrival descent into cmh; it was discovered that the FMC database for cmh runway 28L was incorrectly displaying frequency 108.7...... The correct frequency is 111.75. With VFR conditions and the runway in sight 15 miles out; we manually tuned the ILS and conducted a visual approach to runway 28L at cmh. It would appear that the updated database (which was changed on 9/19/13) was incorrect for cmh runway 28L ILS. If the database for cmh was incorrect on this aircraft; it most likely is for all aircraft with the new database. I would suggest the 9/19/13 database be checked and corrected and then be reinstalled in all aircraft.
