Universal language interface (DSNULI)

The following figure shows the general structure of DSNULI and a program that uses it:

The Db2 load module, DSNULI, is the Universal Language Interface module. DSNULI has no aliases.

DSNULI has the following entry points:

DSNALI

For explicit Db2 Call Attach Facility connection service requests

DSNRLI

For explicit Db2 Resource Recovery Services Attach Facility connection service requests

DSNCLI

For link-editing with CICS®

DSNHLI

For generic SQL calls from applications that are designed to run in any environment.

DSNHLI2

For explicit SQL calls by way of the Call Attachment Facility

DSNHLIR

For explicit SQL calls by way of the Resource Recovery Services Attachment Facility

DSNWLI

For generic IFI calls from applications that are designed to run in any environment.

DSNWLI2

For explicit IFI calls by way of the Call Attachment Facility.

DSNWLIR

For explicit IFI call by way of the Resource Recovery Services Attachment Facility

PLITDLI

For PL/I specific IMS database access

DFSPLI

For PL/I specific IMS database access

CBLTDLI

For COBOL specific IMS database access

DFSCOBOL

For COBOL specific IMS database access

ASMTDLI

For assembler specific IMS database access

DFSASM

For assembler specific IMS database access

DSNULI dynamically loads and branches to the appropriate language interface module, which is based on the entry point name (for attachment-specific entry points), or based on the current environment (for the generic entry points DSNHLI and DSNWLI).
