Use

This is a syntax rule for setting up a session.

The active SQL mode determines which SQL dialect is understood by the database system. It is transferred between the REPM Server and database instance when the connection is set up. The SQL statements and the FASTLOAD command in the command file are interpreted in accordance with the selected SQL mode. The SQL mode can change within a command file.

If you do not specify a mode, the internal SQL dialect in the database system will be used.

If you enter an invalid SQL mode, the database system automatically assumes that you want to use the internal SQL dialect.
