DSNZPARM Application Parameters

This panel shows information about the parameters that affect the default settings of the Db2® application.It shows the name of the DSNZPARM module that is specified for Db2 startup and the date on which the module is assembled. It also shows a list of the default values of the Db2 application.

If a field is not available for the current Db2 release, the string N/A is displayed. For other conditions, for example, if specific Db2 traces are not started or control block data is not available, the string N/P is displayed.

Valid values:
APOST (')
QUOTE (")
Default: APOST
Mixed Data (QWPBGRAF)
This parameter determines how the EBCDIC CCSID fields and the ASCII CCSID fields are interpreted by Db2. The MIXED DATA option does not affect the UNICODE CCSID field. Regardless of the setting for MIXED DATA, UNICODE UTF-8 data is considered as mixed data. Therefore UNICODE UTF-8 data is processed according to the rules for mixed data.
Valid values:
NO
YES
Default: NO
Single Byte (QWPBSID), Mixed Byte (QWPBMID), and Double Byte (QWPBGID) CCSID
The coded character set identifier (CCSID) for Single Byte Character Set (SBCS), Mixed Byte Character Set (MBCS), and Double Byte Character Set (DBCS).
This parameter determines the default CCSID for EBCDIC-encoded character data that is stored in your Db2 subsystem or in your data sharing system. This value is used by Db2 to perform the conversion of character data that is received from external sources including other database management systems.
Choose this value carefully to avoid the loss of data integrity. The values that you select for EBCDIC CCSID and ASCII CCSID are closely related.
Valid values:
1 to 65533

Default: None

DSNHDECP:
     SCCSID (single byte)
     MCCSID (mixed byte)
     GCCSID (double byte)

ASCII SBCS CCSID (QWPBASID), ASCII MBCS CCSID (QWPBAMID), and ASCII GBCS CCSID (QWPBAGID)
Coded character set identifier (CCSID) for ASCII Single Byte Character Set, (ASCCSID), ASCII Mixed Byte Character Set, and ASCII Double Byte Character Set.
This parameter determines the default coded character set identifier (CCSID) for ASCII-encoded character data that is stored in your Db2 subsystem or in your data sharing system. This value is used by Db2 to convert character data that is received from external sources including other database management systems.
You must specify a value for this field even if you do not use ASCII-encoded objects.
Choose this value carefully to prevent the loss of data integrity.
Valid values:
 1 to 65533

Default: None

DSNHDECP:
     ASCCSID (single-byte)
     AMCCSID (mixed)
     AGCCSID (graphic)

UNICODE SBCS CCSID (QWPBUSID), UNICODE MBCS CCSID (QWPBUMID), and UNICODE GBCS CCSID (QWPBUGID)
Coded character set identifier (CCSID) for ASCII Single Byte Character Set, ASCII Mixed Byte Character Set, and ASCII Double Byte Character Set.
This parameter determines the CCSID that is used for Unicode data.

This parameter determines the default format in which the data is stored in Db2.
Valid values:
ASCII
EBCDIC
UNICODE
Default: EBCDIC
Application Encoding (QWPBAPSC)
This parameter determines the default application encoding scheme of the system. It determines how data is interpreted by Db2. For example, if your default application encoding scheme is set to 37 and your EBCDIC coded character is set to 500, Db2 converts all data coming into the system to 500 from 37 before using it. This includes, but is not limited to, SQL statement text and host variables.
Valid values:
ASCII
EBCDIC
UNICODE
CCSID (1 to 65533)
Default: EBCDIC
Locale LC_TYPE (QWPBLCTP)
This parameter determines the system LOCALE LC_CTYPE.
A locale is the part of your system environment that depends on the language and on cultural conventions. An LC_CTYPE is a subset of a locale that applies to character functions.
Valid values:
A valid locale of 0 to 50 characters.
Default: Blank
DEF_DECFLOAT_ROUND_MODE (QWPBDDRM)
This parameter determines the default rounding mode for decimal floating-point values.
Valid values:
ROUND_CEILING
ROUND_DOWN
ROUND_FLOOR
ROUND_HALF_DOWN
ROUND_HALF_EVEN
ROUND_HALF_UP
ROUND_UP.
Default: ROUND_HALF_EVEN
DSNTIP4-Application Default 2
Minimum Divide Scale (QWP4DIV3)
This parameter determines whether to retain at least three digits to the right of the decimal point after any decimal division.
Valid values:
NO
YES
Default: NO
Decimal Arithmetic (QWPBARTH)
This parameter determines the rules that are used if both operands in a decimal operation have a precision of 15 or less.
Valid values:
DEC15
DEC31
15
1
DPP.S
Default: DEC15
Use for DynamicRules (QWPBDRLS)
This parameter determines whether Db2 is using the application programming default values that are specified on this panel or the values of the Db2 precompiler options for dynamic SQL statements. These are bound by using DYNAMICRULES bind, define, or invoke behavior.
Valid values:
NO
YES
Default: YES
Describe for Static (QWP4DSST)
This parameter determines whether Db2 is building a DESCRIBE SQL descriptor area (SQLDA) when binding static SQL statements. With DESCRIBE SQLDAs, DESCRIBE requests for static SQL statements can be executed successfully.
The DESCSTAT subsystem parameter provides the default value for the DESCSTAT BIND or REBIND option. The value of the DESCSTAT BIND or REBIND option always overrides the DESCSTAT subsystem parameter value.
Except for the following scenarios, a DESCRIBE request cannot be issued against a static SQL statement.
In a distributed environment, where Db2 for z/OS® is the server and the requester supports extended dynamic SQL
In this scenario, a DESCRIBE request that is executed on an SQL statement in the extended dynamic package is considered by Db2 as a DESCRIBE on a static SQL statement in the Db2 package.
If a stored procedure result set is used by an application and a cursor must be allocated for this result set
In this scenario, the application can describe the cursor by using a DESCRIBE CURSOR statement. The SQL statement that is actually described is the statement for which the cursor is declared in the stored procedure. If that statement is static, a static SQL statement must be described.
Valid values:
NO
YES
Default: YES
Date Format (QWPBDATE)
This parameter determines the format that is used to represent dates in output.
Valid values:
EUR
ISO
JIS
LOCAL
USA
Default: ISO
Time Format (QWPBTIME)
This parameter determines the format that is used to represent time in output.
Valid values:
EUR
ISO
JIS
LOCAL
USA
Default: ISO
Local Date Length (QWPBDLEN)
If you use a locally defined date exit routine, this parameter determines the length of the longest field that is required to hold a date.
To use your own default date format, you must also enter LOCAL for the DATE FORMAT field on panel DSNTIP4.
Valid values:
  0
 10
254
Default: 0
Local Time Length (QWPBTLEN)
This parameter determines the time length default for the local format.
To use one of the following time formats that are provided by IBM®, keep the default value of 0:
EUR
ISO
JIS
USA
Valid values:
  0
  8
254
Default: 0
Impl Time Zone (QWPBIMTZ)

This parameter applies to Db2 table columns and routing parameters that are declared with TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE data types.
Valid values:
CURRENT
SESSION
-12:59 to +14:00
Default: CURRENT
STD SQL Language (QWPBSQL)
This parameter determines the SQL standard that is used in writing application programs. Specifically, the parameter specifies whether the SQL language conforms to those portions of the 1992 ANSI SQL standard that are implemented by Db2.
Valid values:
NO

Default: NO
Pad Nul-Terminated (QWPBPAD)
This parameter determines whether output host variables that are nul-terminated strings are padded with blanks and a nul-terminator.
Valid values:
NO
YES
Default: NO
(PACKAGE_DEPENDENCY_LEVEL) (QWP4PKGDEPLVL)
The PACKAGE_DEPENDENCY_LEVEL subsystem parameter specifies whether packages record package-level dependencies only or record both package-level and statement-level dependencies. The subsystem parameter sets the default value for the DEPLEVEL option of the BIND PACKAGE command. The value of the DEPLEVEL option on BIND or REBIND always overrides the value of the PACKAGE_DEPENDENCY_LEVEL subsystem parameter.
Valid values:
P (package)
S (statement)
Default: P
DSN6SPRM: PACKAGE_DEPENDENCY_LEVEL
DB2 13 and later.
DSNTIPF-Application Default 3
APPL COMPAT LEVEL (QWP4APCO)
This parameter determines the default release level of the APPLCOMPAT BIND and REBIND option.
Tip:
  • Set all Db2 data sharing members to the same value.

Default:
     V11R1 after migration.
     V12R1 for a new installation.
