ACCESS

Enables deployment of application code and SQL by updating the SQL Server database at compile time.

Creates a stored procedure at compile time for most static SQL statements
Compiled OpenESQL code issues a call to the created SQL Server stored procedure

Note: Applies to SQL Server only.

Syntax:

ACCESS=access-plan-name

Parameters:

access-plan-name: The name of the access plan.

Properties:

Default:

ACCESS=prog-name

Where prog-name is the COBOL program name.

Dependencies:

To use ACCESS, you must also set the DB SQL compiler directive option.

In some scenarios, you should also set the PASS SQL compiler directive option.

Scope:

Used at compile time:	Yes
Behavior at run time:	Source file

See Scope - OpenESQL SQL Compiler Directive Options for more information.

Advantages:

Convenient for testing when the BIND SQL compiler directive option is to be used for deployment.

Comments:

Instead of embedding a SQL Server statement in your compiled module, OpenESQL generates a call to a SQL Server stored procedure. In addition, OpenESQL creates that stored procedure in the schema specified by your SQL Server connection, one for each static SQL statement in the program.

If stored procedures from a previous compilation are present in the schema, OpenESQL drops them before creating new stored procedures.
