Pathway Environment
If a C program must run an SQL program programmatically at a low PIN, consider
these situations:

The C creator program was not written (or converted) to run at a high PIN.
The SQL program runs at a low PIN by default, even if it was written (or converted)
to run at a high PIN.

The C creator program was written (or converted) to run at a high PIN and to
create a high PIN process. The SQL program was also written (or converted) to
run at a high PIN.
For this program to start the SQL program at a low PIN, set the HIGHPIN
object-file attribute to OFF in the SQL program file using the Binder CHANGE
command as described under Interactive Commands on page 7-5.
Pathway Environment
In a Pathway environment, an SQL program running as a server process can run at an
available high PIN if these conditions are met:

The SQL program was written (or converted) to run at a high PIN.

The HIGHPIN server attribute for the SQL program in the Pathway
configuration file is ON.

The HIGHPIN object-file attribute in the SQL program file is ON.

A high PIN is available when the server runs.
To force an SQL program to run at a low PIN, use either of these methods:

In the SQL program file, set the HIGHPIN object-file attribute to OFF using the
Binder CHANGE command as described under Interactive Commands on
page 7-5.

In the Pathway configuration file, set the HIGHPIN server attribute to OFF using
the SET SERVER or ALTER SERVER command. (The default for the HIGHPIN
server attribute is OFF.)
