Syntax Description

CONNECTPERSIST
continues a client/server connection after the RSUBMIT (with or without automatic sign-on) has completed. The server is not automatically signed off (disconnected from) the client.
NOCONNECTPERSIST
discontinues a client/server connection after the RSUBMIT (with or without automatic signon) has completed. The server is automatically signed off (disconnected from) the client.

Details

The CONNECTPERSIST option is most useful when automatic sign-on (specified by using the AUTOSIGNON option) is enabled.
A continued connection after the completion of a current RSUBMIT enables you to perform subsequent processing tasks within the same client/server session without having to sign on again. To terminate a persistent connection, you must perform an explicit SIGNOFF.
In addition to being a system option, CONNECTPERSIST can be set as an option in the RSUBMIT statement. The option in the RSUBMIT statement or command takes precedence over the system option.
