SQL

Designate a DB2 table or cursor declaration in the Working-Storage or Linkage Section. Additionally, code native SQL statements and pass them through, without translation, to the precompile process.

Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.

Comments:

Use one SQL keyword for each SQL call. AMB generates EXEC SQL and END-EXEC statements before the first and last statements, respectively.
In the Data Division, the SQL keyword designates a DB2 table or one or more cursor declarations in the Working-Storage or Linkage Section. Use one SQL keyword for each SQL call. AMB generates EXEC SQL and END-EXEC statements before the first and last statements, respectively.
In the Procedure Division, start every SQL Procedure Division statement with the SQL verb, coded in columns 12 through 72. Begin subsequent lines of the statement with continuation ellipses. All statements pass to the precompiler without translation. SQL statements can be coded anywhere after the PARA, PROC, or NTRY keywords.
