The Input-CLIv2-connection-number is a four-byte field that specifies the session to be acted on by DBCHCL.
| In this language... | The variable name for Input-CLIv2-connection-number is... |

|---|---|
| DBCHINI | writes |
| DBCHCL | reads (RSUP; IRQ; FET; REW; ERQ; ABT; DSC; CMD; IWPF; CRQ) |
| Input-CLIv2-connection-number is used by... | To... |
|---|---|
| applications | write |
Applications copy the value from Output-CLIv2-connection-number into Input-CLIv2-connection-number. If an application uses the same DBCAREA to run sessions concurrently, it should save Output-CLIv2-connection-number from each session logon.
Applications must store the appropriate value of Output-CLIv2-connection-number in Input-CLIv2-connection-number whenever then need the next DBCHCL call to affect a different session.
When DBCHCL is called for the RunStartUp, Command, Initiate with Protocol-function, or Initiate Request function, an implicit Connect function takes place first if Input-CLIv2-connection-number is zero.
