                By default, the compiler uses the operating system user credentials to connect to the DB2 database. 
                  		
               
 
               		
               When connecting to a database, use PASS only when it is necessary to supply credentials other than the operating system credentials
                  as in the following cases: 
                  		
               
 
               		
                
                  		  
                  - You are logged into the operating system as a user that does not have the documented DB2 privileges. 
                     		  
                  
- You are logged into the operating system as a user who is not the owner of unqualified database metadata referenced by the
                     program being compiled. 
                     		  
                  
- When connecting to a database that resides on a remote server and is catalogued locally.
