Hello,

can anyone tell me where can I find all the environment variables we can add to DSParams?

Thanks

It would be a good start to take a look to Parallel Job Advanced Developer Guide manual.

define "all the environment variables".

Is it default variables present in DSParams/ special environment variables suggested by IBM to define as user defined variables for some cases/ user defined variables for your own use?

This manual is great but not complete.

What I'm looking for is what you call special environment variables suggested by IBM to define as user defined variables for some cases.

I dont think its all documented at the same place, but its spread all over the connectivity guides like NLS_LANG for oracle. Also some are suggested by IBM on case to case basis.

Someone here might have compiled a list of those. I can only advise on case to case basis (probably its a nice time to start making a list).

Would make a nice addition to the FAQ forum, me thinks.

There is a theoretically infinite number of environment variable names, all of which *could* be added to DSParams.

And no one ever tried to list them, somewhere? Even if they're not all in the same document, but at least as we could find them.

IBM. Internally. I would wager. There's been no effort made here to collect anything of the sort, any "special" ones outside the normal scope of things.

An infinite list?!! Even an infinite number of monkeys could only manage the complete works of Shakespeare - not a single environment variable among them!

Ummm... yah... infinite.
