Top

Allow copy of data (ALWCPYDTA)

Specifies whether a copy of the data can be used in a SELECT statement.

*OPTIMIZE

The system determines whether to use the data retrieved directly from the database or to use a copy of the data. The decision is based on which method provides the best performance.

*YES

A copy of the data is used only when necessary.

*NO

A copy of the data is not used. If a temporary copy of the data is required to perform the query, an error message is returned.

Top

Allow blocking (ALWBLK)

Specifies whether the database manager can use record blocking and the extent to which blocking can be used for read-only cursors.

*ALLREAD

Rows are blocked for read-only cursors. All cursors in a program that are not explicitly able to be changed are opened for read-only processing even though there may be EXECUTE or EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statements in the program.
Specifying *ALLREAD:

Allows record blocking for all read-only cursors.
Can improve the performance of almost all read-only cursors in programs, but limits queries in the following ways:

The Rollback (ROLLBACK) command, a ROLLBACK statement in host languages, or the ROLLBACK HOLD SQL statement does not reposition a read-only cursor when *ALLREAD is specified.
Dynamic running of a positioned UPDATE or DELETE statement (for example, using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE), can not be used to update a row in a cursor unless the DECLARE statement for the cursor includes the FOR UPDATE clause.

*NONE

Rows are not blocked for retrieval of data for cursors.
Specifying *NONE:

Guarantees that the data retrieved is current.
May reduce the amount of time required to retrieve the first row of data for a query.
Stops the database manager from retrieving a block of data rows that is not used by the program when only the first few rows of a query are retrieved before the query is closed.
Can degrade the overall performance of a query that retrieves a large number of rows.

*READ

Records are blocked for read-only retrieval of data for cursors when:

*NONE is specified for the Commitment control (COMMIT) parameter, which indicates that commitment control is not used.
The cursor is declared with a FOR READ ONLY clause or there are no dynamic statements that could run a positioned UPDATE or DELETE statement for the cursor.

Top

SQL rules (SQLCURRULE)

Specifies the semantics used for SQL statements.

*DB2

The semantics of all SQL statements will default to the rules established for DB2. The following semantics are controlled by this option:
Hexadecimal constants are treated as character data.

*STD

The semantics of all SQL statements will default to the rules established by the ISO and ANSI SQL standards. The following semantics are controlled by this option:
Hexadecimal constants are treated as binary data.

Top

Decimal result options (DECRESULT)

Element 1: Maximum precision

31

The maximum precision (length) that should be returned for the result data types is 31 digits.

63

The maximum precision (length) that should be returned for the result data types is 63 digits.

Element 2: Maximum scale

31

The maximum scale (number of decimal positions to the right of the decimal point) that should be returned for the result data types is 31 digits.

0-63

Specify the maximum scale (number of decimal positions to the right of the decimal point) that should be returned for the result data types. The value can range from 0 to the maximum precision.

Element 3: Minimum divide scale

0

The minimum divide scale (number of decimal positions to the right of the decimal point) that should be returned for both intermediate and result data types is 0.

0-9

Specify the minimum divide scale (number of decimal positions to the right of the decimal point) that should be returned for both intermediate and result data types. The value cannot exceed the maximum scale. If 0 is specified for the maximum scale, minimum divide scale is not used.

Top

Listing output (OUTPUT)

Specifies whether the precompiler listing is generated.

This parameter applies only to CREATE statements for SQL procedures, functions, or triggers in the source file. This value will be used when creating the program for the SQL routine.

*NONE

The precompiler listing is not generated.

*PRINT

The precompiler listing is generated.

Top

Target release (TGTRLS)

Specifies the release of the operating system on which you intend to use the object being created.

This parameter applies only to CREATE statements for SQL procedures, functions, or triggers in the source file. This value will be used when creating the program for the SQL routine.
When specifying the target-release value, the format VxRxMx is used to specify the release, where Vx is the version, Rx is the release, and Mx is the modification level. For example, V5R3M0 is version 5, release 3, modification 0.
Valid values depend on the current version, release, and modification level of the operating system, and they change with each new release.

*CURRENT

The object is to be used on the release of the operating system currently running on your system. The object can also be used on a system with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.

target-release

Specify the release in the format VxRxMx. The object can be used on a system with the specified release or with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.

Top

Debugging view (DBGVIEW)

Specifies the type of source debug information to be provided by SQL.

This parameter applies only to CREATE statements for SQL procedures, functions, or triggers in the source file. This value will be used when creating the program for the SQL routine.

*NONE

No debug view information is generated.

*SOURCE

Generates a source view of the C source generated by RUNSQLSTM for the SQL procedures, functions, or triggers in the input SQL source member. The C source member is passed to the SQL precompiler by invoking the CRTSQLCI (Create SQL ILE C object) command. A source view is also generated by the SQL precompiler for the C source member which is produced by the precompiler.

*STMT

Allows the compiled object to be debugged using program statement numbers and symbolic identifiers.

*LIST

Generates the listing view for debugging the compiled object.

Top

Close SQL cursor (CLOSQLCSR)

Specifies when SQL cursors are implicitly closed, SQL prepared statements are implicitly discarded, and LOCK TABLE locks are released. SQL cursors are explicitly closed when the user issues the CLOSE, COMMIT, or ROLLBACK (without HOLD) SQL statements.

This parameter applies only to CREATE statements for SQL procedures, functions, or triggers in the source file. This value will be used when creating the program for the SQL routine.

*ENDACTGRP

SQL cursors are closed and SQL prepared statements are implicitly discarded, and LOCK TABLE locks are released when the activation group ends.

*ENDMOD

SQL cursors are closed and SQL prepared statements are implicitly discarded when the module is exited. LOCK TABLE locks are released when the first SQL program on the call stack ends.

Top

Delay PREPARE (DLYPRP)

Specifies whether the dynamic statement validation for a PREPARE statement is delayed until an OPEN, EXECUTE, or DESCRIBE statement is run. Delaying validation improves performance by eliminating redundant validation.

This parameter applies only to CREATE statements for SQL procedures, functions, or triggers in the source file. This value will be used when creating the program for the SQL routine.

*NO

Dynamic statement validation is not delayed. When the dynamic statement is prepared, the access plan is validated. When the dynamic statement is used in an OPEN or EXECUTE statement, the access plan is revalidated. Because the authority or the existence of objects referred to by the dynamic statement may change, still check the SQLCODE or SQLSTATE after issuing the OPEN or EXECUTE statement to ensure that the dynamic statement is still valid.

*YES

Dynamic statement validation is delayed until the dynamic statement is used in an OPEN, EXECUTE, or DESCRIBE SQL statement. When the dynamic statement is used, the validation is completed and an access plan is built. If you specify *YES on this parameter for precompiled programs, you should check the SQLCODE and SQLSTATE after running an OPEN, EXECUTE, or DESCRIBE statement to ensure that the dynamic statement is valid.

If you specify *YES, performance is not improved if the INTO clause is used on the PREPARE statement or if a DESCRIBE statement uses the dynamic statement before an OPEN is issued for the statement.

Top

User profile (USRPRF)

Specifies the user profile that is used when the compiled program object and SQL package object is run, including the authority that the program object or SQL package has for each object in static SQL statements. The profile of either the owner or the user is used to control access to objects.

This parameter applies only to CREATE statements for SQL procedures, functions, or triggers in the source file. This value will be used when creating the program for the SQL routine.

*NAMING

The user profile is determined by the naming convention. If the naming convention is *SQL, USRPRF(*OWNER) is used. If the naming convention is *SYS, USRPRF(*USER) is used.

*USER

The profile of the user running the program or SQL package is used.

*OWNER

The user profiles of both the owner and the user are used when the program or SQL package is run.

Top

Dynamic user profile (DYNUSRPRF)

Specifies the user profile used for dynamic SQL statements.

This parameter applies only to CREATE statements for SQL procedures, functions, or triggers in the source file. This value will be used when creating the program for the SQL routine.

*USER

Local dynamic SQL statements are run under the profile of the program's user. Distributed dynamic SQL statements are run under the profile of the application server job.

*OWNER

Local dynamic SQL statements are run under the profile of the program's owner. Distributed dynamic SQL statements are run under the profile of the SQL package's owner.
