Use the TypDefOvr keyword to explicitly set the SBCS CCSID that StarSQL uses to send character data to the DB2 host. When TypDefOvr is set, StarSQL sends the data using the CCSID specified in the TypDefOvr with each DRDA request. The CCSID specified for TypDefOvr overrides the CCSID values specified for AutoTypDefOvr.
The TypDefOvr keyword value can be any SBCS CCSID that StarSQL supports. (For the complete list of supported CCSIDs, refer to the "StarSQL Character Conversion and National Language Support" document in the StarSQL technical documents of the StarQuest Web site.)
If the CCSID specified for TypDefOvr is for a single-byte character set, StarSQL sends all SQL statements and parameters only as single-byte character strings defined by that CCSID. The topic Customizing StarSQL for National Language Support provides additional information about customizing StarSQL to support specific client and host configurations.
This keyword is typically used only when under the direction of StarQuest Support to troubleshoot connectivity issues.
