Calls to DBCHCL
Before a call to DBCHCL for the Connect function, applications set Variable Length Request either to Y or N, with the following results:
When Variable Length Request is set to... |
Then... |
Y |
the Logon Length field is ignored and the Logon Pointer must point to the two‑byte area containing the length of the logon string, which is followed by the actual logon string. |
N |
the application must supply the length information separately from the logon string, in Logon Length. |
For more information, see “Variable Length Request” on page 205.
