Db2 ODBC initialization file
A set of optional keywords can be specified in a Db2 ODBC initialization file. An initialization file stores default values for various Db2 ODBC configuration options. Because the initialization file has EBCDIC text, you can use a file editor, such as the TSO editor, to edit it.
For most applications, use of the Db2 ODBC
initialization file is not necessary. However, to make better use
of Db2 for z/OS® features,
the keywords can be specified to:
- Help improve the performance or usability of an application.
- Provide support for applications written for a previous version of Db2 ODBC.
- Provide specific workarounds for existing ODBC applications.
