Param | Directly Equates to this Built-In Function: | Argument Number |
|---|---|---|
PSLU | DEFINE_OS_400_SERVER | 2 (LU partner name) |
PSCC | DEFINE_OS_400_SERVER | 3 (Commitment control) |
PSDB | DEFINE_OS_400_SERVER | 4 (DBCS capable) |
PSDL | DEFINE_OS_400_SERVER | 5 (Divert locks) |
PSWM | DEFINE_OS_400_SERVER | 6 (Show please wait message) |
PSEP | DEFINE_OS_400_SERVER | 7 (Server execution priority) |
PSCT | DEFINE_OS_400_SERVER | 8 (Client to Server table) |
PSST | DEFINE_OS_400_SERVER | 9 (Server to Client table) |
PSPW | CONNECT_SERVER | 2 (Password) |

The SSN (Symbolic Server Name) used when automatically connecting to an IBM i server with DBID=*AS400 is always AS400. This value cannot be changed.
When connecting to a Server with DBID=*OTHER, the following PSxx arguments can be used:
Param | Directly Equates to this Built-In Function: | Argument Number |
|---|---|---|
PSLU | DEFINE_OTHER_SERVER | 2 (Server network name) |
PSDL | DEFINE_OTHER_SERVER | 3 (Divert locks) |
PSWM | DEFINE_OTHER_SERVER | 4 (Show please wait message) |
PSEA | DEFINE_OTHER_SERVER See PSEA Notes (Primary Server Exceptional Arguments) | 5 (X_RUN exceptional arguments) |
PSTC | CONNECT_SERVER. See PSTC Notes (Primary Server Trusted Connection) | 3 (Use Kerberos Authentication) |
PSPW | CONNECT_SERVER | 2 (Password) |

The SSN (Symbolic Server Name) used when automatically connecting to a non-IBM i server with DBID=*OTHER is always DTASERVER. This value cannot be changed.

DEFINE_ANY_SERVER, DEFINE_OS_400_SERVER or DEFINE_OTHER_SERVER to define the server as per the PSxx= parameter
CONNECT_SERVER to establish the connection
CONNECT_FILE to connect all files (file name "*" is used) to the server.
Note Note: The connection uses the default blocking factor on all files. This means that SELECT / UPDATE / ENDSELECT and SELECT / DELETE / ENDSELECT loops that are updating the last record read (i.e. the DELETE or UPDATE has no WITH_KEY or WITH_RRN parameter) may not process as expected. Refer to the CONNECT_FILE Built-In Function for more details of this problem and how to correct it. Another method of correcting this problem is described in 18.4.7 INIT and TERM Parameters.
