Sends each SQL statement to the database at compilation time.
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.
- When using SQL(CHECK) with an ODBC connection to Oracle, you must have at least the same user privileges as are required to
execute the SQL statements in the program.
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], [ALSO CHECK], or [WITH CHECK] statement prefix to affect specific SQL statements. See
SQL Statement Prefixes for CHECK Directive for complete information.
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.
