Description

PowerBuilder and InfoMaker provide a new DBParm parameter named DBGatewayUDT for use with the Sybase DirectConnect interface.

When retrieving or updating columns via the DirectConnect interface, PowerBuilder or InfoMaker use a DirectConnect structure called the User Defined Data Type (UDT) to perform the correct data type conversions. DBGatewayUDT specifies which UDT format should be used.

Purpose

Set DBGatewayUDT to 1 if you want PowerBuilder or InfoMaker to convert data based on the MDI format when you retrieve or update columns, instead of converting data using the new standardized UDT format.

Usage

As with any other DBParm parameter, you can set DBGatewayUDT in the Database Profile Setup dialog box for your connection or in a PowerBuilder application script.

You must specify a value for DBGatewayUDT before connecting to the database in PowerBuilder or InfoMaker.
