Type a one to eight character string that will be used for diagnostic messages. Valid characters are the:

  1. letters A through Z
  2. characters 0 through 9
  3. EBCDIC code points X'5B', X'7B', and X'7C' ($, #, and @ with code page 37 or 500).

Select a type of data for the parameter.

Type a value for the length of a parameter. If you do not specify a length for a CHAR or GRAPHIC, then length is set to 1. You must specify a length for VARCHAR or VARGRAPHIC.

Type a value for the total number of digits in a parameter. You must specify a value between 1 and 31. If you specify a precision value, then you must also specify a scale value. If you do not specify precision and scale, then precision is set to 5 and scale to zero.

Type the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in a parameter. You must specify a value between 1 and the specified precision value. If you do not specify precision and scale, then precision is set to five and scale to zero.

Specifies that the parameter holds single-byte data. Character conversion occurs when the parameter passes from a DRDA requester to a DRDA server. This is the default if the install option MIXED DATA is NO.

Specifies that the parameter holds MIXED DATA. You cannot use this option when the install option MIXED DATA is NO. Character conversion occurs when the parameter passes from a DRDA requester to a DRDA server. This is the default if the install option MIXED DATA is YES.

Specifies that the parameter holds BIT data. Character conversion does not occur when the parameter passes from a DRDA requester to a DRDA server. This setting is useful when passing large binary strings (such as PC bitmaps) to a stored procedure.

Specifies to use input-only parameter. This parameter contains no value when the stored procedure returns control to the calling SQL application.

Specifies to use output-only parameter.

Specifies to use both an input and output parameter for the stored procedure.
