The SQLCA is described in the following table, including the field names used in each language, the data type, and a discussion of the purpose of each field.
| COBOL Name | C Name | Data Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| SQLCAID | sqlcaid | char(8) | A character string (SQLCA) that identifies the beginning of the SQLCA. |
| SQLCABC | sqlcabc | integer | Specifies the length of the SQLCA. Value is always 136. |
| SQLCODE | sqlcode | integer | Contains a return code pertaining to the most recent SQL statement executed. Important values are: 0 Statement executed successfully (may have had warnings). >0 Executed successfully but with an exception condition. <0 An error occurred. 100 End of data reached. |
| SQLERRML | sqlerrml | smallint | The length of the SQLERRMC string (0 to 70). If 0, the value of SQLERRMC is not pertinent. |
| SQLERRMC | sqlerrmc | varchar (70) | One or more tokens, separated by x'ff', that are substituted into error messages to provide specific information about an error condition. |
| SQLERRP | sqlerrp | char(8) | Indicates the product signature in the format pppvvrrm where: ppp = XDB vv = XDB version number rr = XDB release number m = Operating system: N = NT O = OS/2 D = DOS |
| SQLERRD(1) | sqlerrd[0] | integer | Reserved for internal use. |
| SQLERRD(2) | sqlerrd[1] | integer | Reserved for internal use. |
| SQLERRD(3) | sqlerrd[2] | integer | Number of rows affected by an INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE command. |
| SQLERRD(4) | sqlerrd[3] | integer | Not used by XDB Server. |
| SQLERRD(5) | sqlerrd[4] | integer | Contains the position or column of a syntax error for a PREPARE or EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement. |
| SQLERRD(6) | sqlerrd[5] | integer | Not used by XDB Server. |
| SQLWARN0 | sqlwarn0 | char(1) | Flag used to signal warning condition. If blank, then all other SQLWARN variables are blank. If value is W, then at least one other SQLWARN has a W. |
| SQLWARN1 | sqlwarn1 | char(1) | If value is W, then at least one column's value was truncated when stored in a host variable. |
| SQLWARN2 | sqlwarn2 | char(1) | If value is W, then at least one null value was eliminated from the argument of a column function. May not be set to W for a MIN function because its results are not dependent on the elimination of null values. |
| SQLWARN3 | sqlwarn3 | char(1) | If value is W, then the number of columns is larger than the number of host variables. Contains Z if fewer locators were provided in the ASSOCIATE LOCATORS statement than the stored procedure returned. |
| SQLWARN4 | sqlwarn4 | char(1) | If value is W, then a prepared UPDATE or DELETE statement does not contain a WHERE clause. |
| SQLWARN5 | sqlwarn5 | char(1) | If value is W, your program tried to create an index that contains a field that exceeds the maximum length for an index. This use is XDB Server-specific. |
| SQLWARN6 | sqlwarn6 | char(1) | Not used by XDB Server. |
| SQLWARN7 | sqlwarn7 | char(1) | Not used by XDB Server. |
| SQLWARN8 | sqlwarn8 | char(1) | Not used by XDB Server. |
| SQLWARN9 | sqlwarn9 | char(1) | Contains Z if the stored procedure returned multiple result sets. |
| SQLWARNA | sqlwarna | char(1) | Not used by XDB Server. |
| SQLSTATE | sqlstate | char(5) | Contains SQLSTATE value for this error. |
