Scope - OpenESQL SQL Compiler Directive Options

Important: When the Enterprise Server feature is enabled: If you want to run your application under Enterprise Server using the generic one-phase commit switch module for ODBC or the RM switch module for SQL Server, you must recompile the appropriate RM switch module specifying all OpenESQL directives that are defined as process-based. See the process-based directives listed below. For more information on RA switch modules, see Using XA-compliant Resources (XARs).
Each SQL compiler directive option is used either at compile time, run time, or both. The behavior at run time is described as one of the following:
Source file
When a source file specifies the directive, the value set in the source file is used. If a source file does not specify the directive, then the process behavior is used.
Process
These directives affect connections. When the first-encountered EXEC SQL statement is executed, usually an EXEC SQL CONNECT statement, the runtime uses the directive settings for the source file containing the statement. These settings apply for the remainder of the process lifetime. The run-time behavior varies depending on the type of connection as follows:
ODBC with THREAD=ISOLATE
Each thread in the process uses its own set of global directive settings
ODBC with THREAD=SHARE
One set of global directive settings applies for the entire process
JDBC
COBOL runtime session, each session having its own set of global directive settings

For additional information on the scope of each SQL compiler directive option, see its corresponding Reference topic.
