Starting xdbcquery from the Command Line

Execute the following xdbcquery connect command. (No spaces are allowed between parameters.)

xdbcquery /cacuxdbc04:[user name]/[password]/gds10 : [configuration file name]

where:

`/c`	Is the xdbcquery connect command
`acuxdbc04`	Is the SQL driver with which to connect
`user name` ¹	Is the user name
`password` ¹	Is the user password
`gds10`	Is the driver providing access to the COBOL data files with which to connect
`configuration file name`	Is the file that specifies the data source and catalog location, which must be in %GENESIS_HOME% on Windows.

Example

xdbcquery /cacuxdbc04:system/manager/gds10:mfdbc.cfg

Note: If you have not set up database security, you can omit the user name and password, but you need to keep the two forward slashes before gds10 as place holders.

You are now connected to the system catalog and can execute xdbcquery-specific commands or execute SQL statements on your catalog tables.
