Storage Saver - more flexibility needed for image copy template

The member AQTENV in library hlq.SAQTSAMP defines a template to be used for the image copy datasets used when partitions are archived. Although it follows the conventions of the Db2 Utilities TEMPLATE keyword it is less flexible. The reason is that the same template is used for every invocation of the ACCEL_ARCHIVE_TABLES stored procedure, whereas for DB2 Utilities the TEMPLATE definition can be varied with each invocation. We are looking for a mechanism to choose the template structure every time we perform a partition archive.

    You can set or override environment variables temporarily on a per-call basis. Settings will be valid only for the duration of a stored-procedure call. For more information, follow the link to the description of the message parameter under Related reference at the end of this topic.
