A-ODBC-PASSWD

The variable A-ODBC-PASSWD should be set to the password assigned to the database account associated with the user name specified by A-ODBC-LOGIN. Not all data sources require a password. Those that do may have case requirements. Check your data source documentation to determine if password is case sensitive.

Examples

If the account with the user name in A-ODBC-LOGIN has the associated password CW021535, you would specify:

A-ODBC-PASSWD  CW021535

in the runtime configuration file.

For better security, you can accept a password from the user during program execution; set the A-ODBC-PASSWD variable based on the response:

ACCEPT RESPONSE NO-ECHO.
SET ENVIRONMENT "A-ODBC-PASSWD" TO RESPONSE.

Note: If the user has been set up without a password, this variable need not be set. There is no default value for this variable. If no password is specified, none will be used.
