COBSQL

The SQLDA is only required if your program uses dynamic SQL. Oracle provides an extra copybook, ORACA, for use with dynamic SQL. To use this copybook:

1. Include the following EXEC SQL statement in your program:

   EXEC SQL
      INCLUDE ORACA
   END-EXEC

2. When compiling, set the Oracle precompiler option, ORACA=YES.

   For more information on setting Oracle precompiler options, refer to the Programmer's Guide to the Oracle Precompilers.

• Oracle does not supply an SQLDA. For a clearer explanation of this and the ORACA copybook, refer to the Programmer's Guide to the Oracle Precompilers.
• COBSQL does not support inclusion of the SQLDA using the following syntax statement:

  EXEC SQL
     INCLUDE SQLDA
  END-EXEC
