OpenESQL Configuration Utility for Default SQL Cursor Behavior

Use the OpenESQL Configuration utility to change the default behavior for the SQL(BEHAVIOR) directive. OpenESQL uses the default set in the utility only when SQL(BEHAVIOR) is not set explicitly in one of the following places:

program source code
project settings
COBOL compiler directives file

When you specify the SQL(BEHAVIOR) directive in any of these places, the value you specify overrides the default set using the OpenESQL Configuration utility.

Note: The OpenESQL Configuration Utility does not enable you to set the BEHAVIOR directive to either JCL or CICS, both of which are valid settings. If you want to set the BEHAVIOR directive to either of these, be sure to set it in one of the above-referenced places before attempting to compile your application.

You can run this utility, using its user-interface implementation (applies to Windows environments only) or its command-line implementation (esqlconfig command), on each machine where you have installed Enterprise Developer. Do this to change the default for the SQL(BEHAVIOR) directive before attempting to compile programs that do not specify the SQL(BEHAVIOR) directive in one or more of the above-referenced places. You need not run the utility again even after installing software upgrades; however, if you need to change the default behavior at any time, you can run the utility to do so as often as necessary.

Using the OpenESQL Configuration utility, you can set the default behavior to one of the following options:
