Understanding java Dclgen terminology

The following information explains the terms used in java Dclgen dialog boxes:

Tables
The unqualified table name for which you want java Dclgen to produce SQL data declarations. Optionally, you can qualify the table name by entering the table qualifier in the Table Qualifier entry field. The tool generates a two-part table name from the table name and table qualifier.
Table qualifier
The table name qualifier. If you do not specify this value, your logon ID is assumed to be the table qualifier.
Output Path for Save
The path targeted for the declarations that java Dclgen produces.
Output Filename for Save
The filename targeted for the declarations that java Dclgen produces.
Structure name
Name of the generated data structure which can be up to 31 characters in length.

If you leave this field blank, java Dclgen generates a name that contains the table or view name with a DCL prefix. If the table or view name consists of a DBCS string, the prefix consists of DBCS characters.

Field Name Prefix
Prefix name generated for fields in the javaDclgen output. The value you choose can be up to 28 characters in length and is used as the prefix for the field name.

For example, if you choose ABCDE, the field names generated are ABCDE001, ABCDE002, and so on.

If you leave this field blank, the field names are the same as the column names in the table or view. If the name is a DBCS string, DBCS equivalents of the suffix numbers are generated.

A table or column name in the DECLARE statement is generated as a non-delimited identifier unless the name contains special characters and is not a DBCS string.

If you are using an SQL reserved word as an identifier, you must edit the java Dclgen output in order to add the appropriate SQL delimiters.
