CHECK

Sends each SQL statement to the database at compilation time.

Syntax:

[NO]CHECK

Properties:

Default:

NOCHECK

Dependencies:

CHECK requires that you also:

Set the DB compiler directive option, or identify the database using the DB2DBDFT environment variable.
If the connection to the database specified requires authentication, then the PASS compiler directive option is also required.

Scope:

Used at compile time:	Yes
Behavior at run time:	N/A

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

Comments:

Depending on your driver and/or DBMS and in certain circumstances, CHECK does not flag invalid SQL statements.

You can specify the [NOCHECK] statement prefix to disable CHECK on a per statement basis.

Important: For applications that use JDBC with the JVM Managed Runtime, be sure that your environment is configured appropriately. Otherwise, compilation could fail. See To create a JVM COBOL project for JDBC and Configuring the JDBC Run-time Environment for details.
