<div class="section"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Notes:</span> <ul><li>The iSeries™ Access
for Windows<sup>®</sup> ODBC
Driver is a Unicode driver; however, ANSI applications will still continue
to work with it. The ODBC Driver Manager will handle converting an ANSI ODBC
API call to the wide version before calling the iSeries Access for Windows ODBC
Driver. To write a Unicode application, you must call the wide version for
some of these APIs. When writing an application to the wide ODBC interface,
you need to know whether the length for each API is defined as character,
in bytes, or if the length is not applicable. Refer to the 'Type' column in
the following table for this information.</li>
<li>For more details on how these APIs work, search for ODBC at the Microsoft<sup>®</sup> Web
site.</li>

In the TYPE_NAME column, when a data type requires a value to be in parentheses,
the parentheses are included in the data type name. However the parentheses
are omitted when the parentheses would end up at the end of the data type
string. In the following string example, the "CHAR" data type is followed
by parenthesis while the "DATA" data type is not followed by parentheses:
"CHAR( ) FOR BIT DATA".</p>

GRAPHIC affects whether the driver returns graphic (DBCS) data types as supported

If working with LOB locator fields the driver restricts these values to 1
row at a time. LOB fields are handled as locators if the MAXFIELDLEN connection
string value is less than the LOB field size. <p>SELECT statements that contain
the FOR FETCH ONLY or FOR UPDATE clause override the current setting of SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY
attribute. An error is not returned during the SQLExecute or SQLExecDirect
if the SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY setting conflicts with the clause in the SQL statement.</p>

<li>SQL_ATTR_FETCH_BOOKMARK_PTR</li>
<li>SQL_ATTR_KEYSET_SIZE</li>

Setting SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS is supported, however, it only impacts performance
for static cursors. The full result set is still built with other cursor types
even if this option is set. Using the FETCH FIRST x ROWS ONLY clause in your
SQL query may work better since it reduces the amount of work the server does.This
API has been extended to also contain the cursor row count for the following
two result set types: <ul><li>stored procedure result sets</li>
<li>static cursor result sets</li>

On the Package tab of the DSN setup GUI are default package settings. These
settings are used when package settings have not already been customized for
that application. Note, these are not global settings <p>By default, the
driver sends SQL statement text to the host in the EBCDIC CCSID associated
with your job. Set the UNICODESQL keyword equal 1 or equal 2, to enable the
driver to send SQL statement text to the host in Unicode. Note that when sending
Unicode SQL statements the driver generates a different package name to avoid
collisions with existing packages that contain EBCDIC SQL statements. Setting
the connection string keyword UNICODESQL allows an application to specify
Unicode data for literals in the SQL statement. </p>
