512 SAS System Options, Settings, and Macros for DB2 Under z/OS 4 Chapter 163 If you specify the DIRECT_SQL= option for one or multiple librefs, you must notset it to NO, NONE, or NOGENSQL.For completeness, the portable code checks these options, regardless of the engine:3 DBCONINIT=3 DBCONTERM=3 DBLIBINIT=3 DBLIBTERM=3 DIRECT_EXE=3 DIRECT_SQL=3 PRESERVE_COL_NAMES=3 PRESERVE_TAB_NAMES=For more information about when and how SAS/ACCESS passes joins to the DBMS,see “Passing Joins to the DBMS” on page 43.SAS System Options, Settings, and Macros for DB2 Under z/OSSystem OptionsYou can use these SAS system options when you start a SAS session that accessesDB2 under z/OS.DB2DBUG | NODB2DBUGused to debug SAS code. When you submit a SAS statement that accesses DB2data, DB2DBUG displays any DB2 SQL queries (generated by SAS) that areprocessed by DB2. The queries are written to the SAS log. NODB2DBUG is thedefault.For example, if you submit a PROC PRINT statement that references a DB2table, the DB2 SQL query displays in the SAS log. SAS/ACCESS Interface to DB2under z/OS generates this query.libname mylib db2 ssid=db2;proc print data=mylib.staff;run;proc sql;select * from mylib.stafforder by idnum;quit;DB2 statements that appear in the SAS log are prepared and described in orderto determine whether the DB2 table exists and can be accessed.DB2DECPT=decimal-valuespecifies the setting of the DB2 DECPOINT= option. The decpoint-value argumentcan be a period (.) or a comma (,). The default is a period (.).DB2DECPT= is valid as part of the configuration file when you start SAS.DB2IN= ’database-name.tablespace-name’ | ’DATABASE database-name’enables you to specify the database and tablespace in which you want to create anew table. The DB2IN= option is relevant only when you are creating a new table.
