  • 1.  odbc connection rejected by ODBCEXITCL

    Posted Fri January 30, 2026 03:18 PM

    Yesterday my connections to database tables received this error...

    System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException (0x80131937): ERROR [HY000] [IBM][System i Access ODBC Driver][DB2 for i5/OS]PWS9801 - Function rejected by user exit program ODBCEXITCL in CDKSRC. ERROR [HY000] [IBM][System i Access ODBC Driver][DB2 for i5/OS]PWS9801

    Might this be due to admin adding an exit program for security?  Previously connecting fine.

    Thanks

    Mark

    If that's the exit point program he added, ABSOLUTELY talk to him about what you're seeing!  But yes, generally speaking - its telling you its an exit point program that rejected the request , your admins should get involved.
