<div><p>The CALL statement and a function call can pass arguments to programs
written in all supported host languages and REXX procedures.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Each language supports different data types that
are tailored to it, as shown in the following tables. The SQL data type is
contained in the leftmost column of the following table. Other columns in
that row contain an indication of whether that data type is supported as a
parameter type for a particular language. If the column is blank, the data
type is not supported as a parameter type for that language. A host variable
declaration indicates that DB2<sup>®</sup> SQL for <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> supports
this data type as a parameter in this language. The declaration indicates
how host variables must be declared to be received and set properly by the
procedure or function. When calling an SQL procedure or function, all SQL
data types are supported so no column is provided in the table.</p>
