Variables

Use environment variables to specify connection information when the keyword set for a node does not have default values for Server, SQLid, or SQLPassword.

These environment variables are:

• dsquery—Key name for Server
• dsuser—Key name for SQLid
• dspswd—Key name for SQLPassword

Note: When using ODBC, substitute dsserver for dsquery.

These environment variables complement the retrieved keyword values in the iefgdic.ini file. If the combination of the retrieved keyword values and the environment variables provide all of the required values to connect to the RDBMS, the GDIC bypasses the input window.
