APPL DEFAULTS field

The value of the APPL DEFAULTS field specifies the member name of the load module that is to be used for Db2 application default values.

Acceptable values: for installation: 1–8 characters; for migration: DSNHDECP
Default: DSNHDECP
Update: option 25 on panel DSNTIPB
DSNZPxxx: none

This module typically resides in library prefix.SDSNEXIT. The application default values that are specified within this module are defined by panels DSNTIPK, DSNTIPM, DSNTIPF, and DSNTIP4. The value that is entered in this field will be assigned to the DECP parameter of the ssnmMSTR startup JCL procedure in SYS1.PROCLIB. The DECP parameter specifies the name of the applications defaults module that is to be loaded by default when Db2 is started. You can override this value by using the DECP option of the START DB2 command. If you use a name that starts with DSN, use DSNHDExx, where xx is any set of two alphanumeric characters. This naming convention avoids conflict with members of prefix.SDSNLOAD.

Start of changeIf you specify a name other than DSNHDECP, the DSNTIJUZ jobs creates a module with that name, with an alias of DSNHDECP. If alias DSNHDECP already exists, it is replaced. If a module that is named DSNHDECP already exists, the link-edit request fails. In this case, you must delete the DSNHDECP module or remove the ALIAS directive for DSNHDECP from the link-edit in job step DSNTIZQ of DSNTIJUZ.End of change
