This dialog is used for creating a connection to an ODBC data source. The dialog is opened when clicking the Connect button in the Data page of the Tool Pane in the Edit Script Dialog if the database option ODBC has been chosen.

On this page choose the data source. As default only the system DSNs are displayed. Check Show User DSNs to view all DSNs.

It is possible if necessary to specify User name and Password for the data source. The connection can also be tested by pressing the Test Connection button.

Finally click the OK button. The connect statement is ready.

I think you mean Data Source Name, this is nothing QV related. You create a System DSN for a Database Connection to load data.

Data source name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I my knowledge there is nothing like DSN in qlikview but DSN stands for Data Source Name it is basically used for creating the ODBC and OLE db connections. In your computer system you define the Data Source Name and use this name for connecting the data source.
