The ENVIRONMENT statement is used to configure a language environment. A language environment is a pluggable module that Net.Data interfaces with to access a data source such as a DB2 database. Language environments are accessed as DLLs or shared libraries. Net.Data provides several language environments, including interfaces to databases. You can create language environments as described in Net.Data Language Environment Guide. In order for Net.Data to interface with a language environment, an ENVIRONMENT statement must be included in the Net.Data initialization file. The statement follows this syntax:
ENVIRONMENT(type) library_name ([usage argument, ...] [CLIETTE "LE_type:dbname"])
See Net.Data Language Environment Guide for additional information.
