*CHG or *UR

Specifies the objects referred to in SQL ALTER, CALL, COMMENT ON, CREATE, DROP, GRANT, LABEL ON, RENAME, and REVOKE statements and the rows updated, deleted, and inserted are locked until the end of the unit of work (transaction). Uncommitted changes in other jobs can be seen.

*CS

Specifies the objects referred to in SQL ALTER, CALL, COMMENT ON, CREATE, DROP, GRANT, LABEL ON, RENAME, and REVOKE statements and the rows updated, deleted, and inserted are locked until the end of the unit of work (transaction). A row that is selected, but not updated, is locked until the next row is selected. Uncommitted changes in other jobs cannot be seen.

*NONE

An SQL package object is not created. The program object is not a distributed program and the Create Structured Query Language Package (CRTSQLPKG) command cannot be used.

name

Specify the name of the relational database where the new SQL package object is to be created. When the name of the local relational database is specified, the program created is still a distributed SQL program. The SQL statements will access the local database.

Compile type (OBJTYPE)

Specifies the type of object to be created.

When OBJTYPE(*PGM) or OBJTYPE(*SRVPGM) is specified and the RDB parameter is also specified, the CRTSQLPKG command is issued by the SQL precompiler after the program has been created. When OBJTYPE(*MODULE) is specified, an SQL package is not created and you must issue the CRTSQLPKG command after the CRTPGM or CRTSRVPGM command has created the program.

If OPTION(*NOGEN) is specified, only the SQL temporary source member is generated. No module, program, service program, or SQL package is created.

*PGM

The SQL precompiler calls the compiler to create a program.

*MODULE

The SQL precompiler calls the compiler to create a module.

*SRVPGM

The SQL precompiler calls the compiler to create a module and issues the Create Service Program (CRTSRVPGM) command to create a service program.

*CURRENT

The user name associated with the current job is used.

name

Specify the user name to be used for the application server job.

RDB user password (PASSWORD)

Specifies the password to be used on the remote system. This parameter is valid only when RDB is specified.

*NONE

No password is sent. A user name cannot be specified for the RDB user (USER) parameter if this value is specified.

Note: Specifying a password of a blank is the same as specifying *NONE.

password

Specify the password of the user name specified for the USER parameter.

Precompiler options (OPTION)

Specifies whether one or more of the following options are used when the RPG source is precompiled. If an option is specified more than once, or if two options conflict, the last option specified is used.

Cross reference options:

*XREF

The precompiler cross-references items in the program to the statement numbers in the program that refer to those items.

*NOXREF

The precompiler does not cross-reference names.

Object creation options:

*GEN

The precompiler creates the object that is specified for the OBJTYPE parameter.

*NOGEN

The precompiler does not call the RPG compiler. No module, program, service program, or SQL package is created.

Decimal point options:

*JOB

The representation for the decimal point specified for the job at precompile time is used.

Note: If QDECFMT specifies that the value used as the decimal point is a comma, any numeric constants in lists (such as in the SELECT clause and VALUES clause) must be separated by a comma followed by a blank. For example, VALUES(1,1, 2,23, 4,1) is equivalent to VALUES(1.1,2.23,4.1) where the decimal point is the period.

*SYSVAL

The value used as the decimal point in numeric constants is from the QDECFMT system value. This value is also used as the decimal point character when casting a numeric value to character.

Note: If QDECFMT specifies that the value used as the decimal point is a comma; any numeric constants in lists (such as in the SELECT clause and VALUES clause) must be separated by a comma followed by a blank. For example, VALUES(1,1, 2,23, 4,1) is equivalent to VALUES(1.1,2.23,4.1) where the decimal point is the period.

*PERIOD

The value used as the decimal point for numeric constants used in SQL statements is a period. This value is also used as the decimal point character when casting a numeric value to character.

*COMMA

The value used as the decimal point in numeric constants is a comma. Any numeric constants in lists (such as in the SELECT clause and VALUES clause) must be separated by a comma followed by a blank. For example, VALUES(1,1, 2,23, 4,1) is equivalent to VALUES(1.1,2.23,4.1) where the decimal point is the period.

Naming convention options:

*SYS

Specifies that the system naming convention is used (library-name/file-name).

*SQL

Specifies that the SQL naming convention is used (schema-name.table-name).

If a relational database is specified for the Relational database (RDB) parameter, and the database is on a system that is not an iSeries system, *SQL must be specified as the naming convention.

Second-level message text options:

*NOSECLVL

Second-level text descriptions are not added to the listing.

*SECLVL

Second-level text with replacement data is added for all messages on the listing.

Sequence source options:

*NOSEQSRC

The source file member created into QSQLTEMP1 or QSQLTEMP has the same sequence numbers as the original source read by the precompiler.

*SEQSRC

The source file member created into QSQLTEMP1 or QSQLTEMP contains sequence numbers starting at 000001 and incremented by 000001.

LOB optimization for DRDA options:

*OPTLOB

The first FETCH for a cursor determines how the cursor will be used for LOBs (Large Objects) on all subsequent FETCHes. This option remains in effect until the cursor is closed.

If the first FETCH uses a LOB locator to access a LOB column, no subsequent FETCH for that cursor can fetch that LOB column into a LOB host variable.

If the first FETCH places the LOB column into a LOB host variable, no subsequent FETCH for that cursor can use a LOB locator for that column.

*NOOPTLOB

There is no restriction on whether a column is retrieved into a LOB locator or into a LOB host variable. This option can cause performance to degrade.

Event file creation options:

*NOEVENTF

The compiler will not produce an event file for use by CoOperative Development Environment (CODE).

*EVENTF

The compiler produces an event file for use by CoOperative Development Environment (CODE). The event file will be created as a member in the file EVFEVENT in your object library. CODE uses this file to offer error feedback integrated with the CODE editor. This option is normally specified by CODE on your behalf.

Character string representation options:

*NOCVTDT

Specifies that date, time, and timestamp data types which are retrieved from externally-described database files are to be processed using the date, time, and timestamp data types.

*CVTDT

Specifies that date, time and timestamp data types, which are retrieved from externally-described database files, are to be processed as fixed-length character fields.

RPG preprocessor options (RPGPPOPT)

Specifies if the RPG compiler will be called to preprocess the source member before the SQL precompile is run. Preprocessing the SQL source member will allow some compiler directives to be handled before the SQL precompile. The preprocessed source will be placed in file QSQLPRE in QTEMP. This source will be used for the SQL precompile.

*NONE

The compiler is not called for preprocessing.

*LVL1

The compiler is called for preprocessing to expand /COPY and handle the conditional compilation directives except the /INCLUDE directive.

*LVL2

The compiler will be called for preprocessing to expand /COPY and /INCLUDE and handle the conditional compilation directives.

Target release (TGTRLS)

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

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. You can press F4 while prompting this command parameter to see a list of valid target release values.

*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.

*PRV

The object is to be used on the previous release with modification level 0 of the operating 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.

INCLUDE file (INCFILE)

Specifies the source file that contains members to be included in the program with the SQL INCLUDE statement.

Single values

*SRCFILE

The qualified source file you specify for the Source file (SRCFILE) parameter contains the source file members specified on any SQL INCLUDE statements.

Qualifier 1: INCLUDE file

name

Specify the name of the source file that contains the source file members specified on any SQL INCLUDE statements.

The record length of the source file you specify here must be no less than the record length of the source file you specify for the Source file (SRCFILE) parameter.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL

All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB

The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

name

Specify the name of the library where the source file is located.

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. If the Commitment control (COMMIT) parameter is not *NONE, the Allow blocking (ALWBLK) parameter should be set to *ALLREAD, when possible, for 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.

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.

*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.

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.

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.

*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, you must 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 for 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.

Note: 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.

Severity level (GENLVL)

Specifies whether the compiler is called, depending on the severity of messages generated as a result of errors found by the SQL precompiler. If precompiler errors are generated that have a message severity level greater than the value specified for this parameter, the compiler is not called.

If the Relational database (RDB) parameter is specified and the severity of the messages generated as a result of package creation is greater than the severity level specified for this parameter, the SQL package is not created.

10

Do not call the compiler if SQL precompiler messages with a message severity greater than 10 are generated.

0-40

Specify the maximum SQL precompiler message severity level to be used to control whether the compiler is called.

Date format (DATFMT)

Specifies the format used when accessing date result columns. All output date fields are returned in the format you specify. For input date strings, the value you specify is used to determine whether the date is a valid format.

Note: An input date string that uses the format *USA, *ISO, *EUR, or *JIS is always valid.

If you connect to a relational database that is on a system that is not an iSeries system, the format must be *USA, *ISO, *EUR, or *JIS.

*JOB

The format specified for the job at precompile time or when a new interactive SQL session is created is used.

Use the Display Job (DSPJOB) command to determine the current date format for the job.

*USA

The United States date format mm/dd/yyyy is used.

*ISO

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) date format yyyy-mm-dd is used.

Note: This parameter applies only when *JOB, *MDY, *DMY, *YMD, or *JUL is specified for the Date format (DATFMT) parameter.

*JOB

The date separator specified for the job at precompile time, when a new interactive SQL session is created, or when Run SQL Statement (RUNSQLSTM) command is run.

Use the Display Job (DSPJOB) command to determine the current date separator value for the job.

'/'

A slash is used as the date separator.

'.'

A period is used as the date separator.

'-'

A dash is used as the date separator.

','

A comma is used as the date separator.

' ' or *BLANK

A blank is used as the date separator.

Time format (TIMFMT)

Specifies the format used when accessing time result columns. All output time fields are returned in the format you specify. For input time strings, the value you specify is used to determine whether the time is specified in a valid format.

Note: An input time string that uses the format *USA, *ISO, *EUR, or *JIS is always valid.

If you connect to a relational database that is on a system that is not another iSeries system, the time format must be *USA, *ISO, *EUR, *JIS, or *HMS with a time separator of a colon or period.

*HMS

The hh:mm:ss format is used.

*USA

The United States time format hh:mmxx is used, where xx is AM or PM.

*ISO

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) time format hh.mm.ss is used.

*EUR

The European time format hh.mm.ss is used.

*JIS

The Japanese Industrial Standard time format hh:mm:ss is used.

Time separator character (TIMSEP)

Specifies the separator used when accessing time result columns.

Note: This parameter applies only when *HMS is specified for the Time format (TIMFMT) parameter.

The time separator specified for the job at precompile time, when a new interactive SQL session is created, or when RUNSQLSTM is run is used.

Use the Display Job (DSPJOB) command to determine the current time separator value for the job.

':'

A colon is used as the time separator.

'.'

A period is used as the time separator.

','

A comma is used as the time separator.

' ' or *BLANK

A blank is used as the time separator.

Replace (REPLACE)

Specifies if a SQL module, program, service program or package is created when there is an existing SQL module, program, service program, or package of the same name and type in the same library. The value for this parameter is passed to the CRTRPGMOD, CRTBNDRPG, CRTSRVPGM, and CRTSQLPKG commands.

*YES

A new SQL module, program, service program, or package is created, any existing SQL object of the same name and type in the specified library is moved to QRPLOBJ.

*NO

A new SQL module, program, service program, or package is not created if an SQL object of the same name and type already exists in the specified library.

RDB connect method (RDBCNNMTH)

Specifies the semantics used for CONNECT statements.

*DUW

CONNECT (Type 2) semantics are used to support distributed unit of work. Consecutive CONNECT statements to additional relational databases do not result in disconnection of previous connections.

*RUW

CONNECT (Type 1) semantics are used to support remote unit of work. Consecutive CONNECT statements result in the previous connection being disconnected before a new connection is established.

Default collection (DFTRDBCOL)

Specifies the name of the schema identifier used for the unqualified names of the tables, views, indexes, SQL packages, aliases, constraints, external programs, node groups, and triggers. This parameter applies only to static SQL statements.

Specify the name of the library where the package is created.

SQL path (SQLPATH)

Specifies the path to be used to find procedures, functions, and user defined types in static SQL statements.

*NAMING

The path used depends on the naming convention specified for the Precompiler options (OPTION) parameter.

For *SYS naming, the path used is *LIBL, the current library list at runtime.

For *SQL naming, the path used is "QSYS", "QSYS2", "userid", where "userid" is the value of the USER special register. If a schema name is specified for the DFTRDBCOL parameter, the schema name takes the place of userid.

*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.

Dynamic user profile (DYNUSRPRF)

Specifies the user profile used for dynamic SQL statements.

*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.

Sort sequence (SRTSEQ)

Specifies the sort sequence table to be used for string comparisons in SQL statements.

Note: *HEX must be specified for this parameter on distributed applications where the application server is not on an iSeries system.

Single values

*JOB

The SRTSEQ value for the job is used.

*JOBRUN

The SRTSEQ value for the job is retrieved when the program is run. For distributed applications, SRTSEQ(*JOBRUN) is valid only when LANGID(*JOBRUN) is also specified.

*LANGIDUNQ

The unique-weight sort table for the language specified for the Language id (LANGID) parameter is used.

*LANGIDSHR

The shared-weight sort table for the language specified for the LANGID parameter is used.

*HEX

A sort sequence table is not used. The hexadecimal values of the characters are used to determine the sort sequence.

Qualifier 1: Sort sequence

name

Specify the name of the sort sequence table to be used with this program.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL

All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB

The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

name

Specify the name of the library to be searched.

Language id (LANGID)

Specifies the language identifier to be used when SRTSEQ(*LANGIDUNQ) or SRTSEQ(*LANGIDSHR) is specified.

*JOB

The LANGID value for the job is retrieved during the precompile.

*JOBRUN

The LANGID value for the job is retrieved when the program is run. For distributed applications, LANGID(*JOBRUN) is valid only when SRTSEQ(*JOBRUN) is also specified.

language-id

Specify the language identifier to be used by the program.

To source file (TOSRCFILE)

Specifies the source file that is to contain the output source member that has been processed by the SQL precompiler. If the specified source file is not found, it will be created. The output member will have the same name as the name specified for the SRCMBR parameter. If this is an existing source file, it should have a record length of 112.

Qualifier 1: To source file

QSQLTEMP1

The source file QSQLTEMP1 will be used.

name

Specify the name of the source file to contain the output source member.

Qualifier 2: Library

QTEMP

The library QTEMP will be used.

*LIBL

The job's library list is searched for the specified file. If the file is not found in any library in the library list, the file will be created in the current library.

*CURLIB

The current library for the job will be used. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

name

Specify the name of the library that is to contain the output source file.

Decimal result options (DECRESULT)

Specifies the maximum precision, maximum scale and minimum divide scale that should be returned for result data types. The specified limit only applies to numeric (zoned) and decimal (packed) data types used in arithmetic expressions and in SQL column functions AVG and SUM.

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 to exceed the maximum scale. If 0 is specified for the maximum scale, minimum divide scale is not used.

Compiler options (COMPILEOPT)

Specifies additional parameters to be used on the compiler command. The COMPILEOPT string is added to the compiler command built by the precompiler. If INCDIR( is anywhere in the string, the precompiler will call the compiler using the SRCSTMF parameter. There is no validation of the string. The compiler command will issue an error if any parameter is incorrect. Please refer to the SQL Programming information in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter for a list of parameters that the precompiler generates for the compiler command. Using any of the keywords that the precompiler passes to the compiler will cause the compiler command to fail because of duplicate parameters.

*NONE

No additional parameters will be used on the compiler command.

character-value

Specify no more than 5000 characters, enclosed in apostrophes.

Examples

CRTSQLRPGI   OBJ(PAYROLL)  OBJTYPE(*PGM)
             TEXT('Payroll Program')

This command runs the SQL precompiler which precompiles the RPG source and stores the changed source in member PAYROLL of source file QSQLTEMP1 in library QTEMP. The ILE RPG compiler is called to create program PAYROLL in the current library by using the source member created by the SQL precompiler.
