CLI SQLSetConnectAttr

during a call to the CLI SQL Connect I got an error I cannot understand alone
error SQL0104
Message . . . . : Token <END-OF-STATEMENT> was not valid. Valid tokens: ? : USER CURRENT DEFAULT SYSTEM_USER.

So, I made a PMR for a way to understand.
Finally, the error is caused by a statement send by QSYS/QSQCLI :
SET SCHEMA
without schema name,
which is itself caused by an error in my code :

SQLSetConnectAttrS( conn, SQL_ATTR_DBC_DEFAULT_LIB, dftlib, %Size(dftlib)));
with field dftlib erroneously empty

my request : when the API SQLSetConnectAttr receive a call with an empty mandatory field, please, return SQL_ERROR
and a HYxxx code meaning "Mandatory argument value not supplied"

This will spare hours of search, for you and for customer, while investigating a for PMR

    This enhancement was delivered in spring 2021 with IBM i 7.4 PTF Group level 13 and IBM i 7.3 PTF Group level 24.

    SQLSetConnectAttr() will now issue an error when an empty string is provided for SQL_ATTR_DBC_DEFAULT_LIB.
