Parameter documentation

DB2 for OS/390-specific parameter which allows the DB2 subsystem name and DB2 group attachment name to be different from the SAP System name (<(><<)>SAPSID<(>><)>). This value is used to connect to DB2 using the Call Attachment Facility and can be either the DB2 subsystem name or the DB2 goup attachment name unless it exceeds four characters in length. The R/3 profile parameter has precedence over the respective environment variable R3_DB2_SSID.
