APPL Statement

The APPL statement defines the DB2 subsystem to VTAM to support remote access.

If the APPL statement does yet not exist, you must create it. If a password is required for VTAM to communicate with DB2 in your environment, specify it in the APPL statement.

Record the ACB name and the password, if you specified one. The ACB name is the word immediately preceding the APPL parameter in the APPL statement. For example, the ACB name is LUDB2T in the example below. You will need this information when you configure DDF with the inventory change log utility.

Following is an example APPL statement:

DB2APPL     VBUILD      TYPE=APPL
LUDB2T      APPL        AUTH=(ACQ),
                        APPC=YES,
                        AUTOSES=1,
                        DMINWNL=10,
                        DMINWNR=10,
                        DSESLIM=20,
                        MODETAB=MODEDB2,
                        SECACPT=ALREADYV,
                        SRBEXIT=YES,
                        VERIFY=NONE,
                        VPACING=2
