<dl class="parml">
<dt class="bold"><var class="pv">variable, ...</var></dt>
<dd>Identifies one or more variables or host structures that must be declared
in accordance with the rules for declaring variables (see <a href="rbafzmstch2refvar.htm#ch2host">References to host variables</a>).
A host structure is logically replaced by a list of variables that represent
each of the elements of the host structure.
<p>The value to be assigned to
each <var class="pv">variable</var> can be specified immediately following the <var class="pv">variable</var>, for example, <var class="pv">variable</var> = <var class="pv">expression</var>, <var class="pv">variable</var> = <var class="pv">expression</var>. Or, sets
of parentheses can be used to specify all the <var class="pv">variables</var> and
then all the values, for example, (<var class="pv">variable</var>, <var class="pv">variable</var>) = (<var class="pv">expression</var>, <var class="pv">expression</var>).</p>
<p>The data
type of each variable must be compatible with its corresponding result column.
Each assignment is made according to the rules described in <a href="rbafzmstch2bas.htm#ch2bas">Assignments and comparisons</a>.
The number of <var class="pv">variables</var> specified to the left of the equal
operator must equal the number of values in the corresponding result specified
to the right of the equal operator. If the value is null, an indicator variable
must be provided. If an assignment error occurs, the value is not assigned
to the variable, and no more values are assigned to variables. Any values
that have already been assigned to variables remain assigned.</p>
<p>If an
error occurs as the result of an arithmetic expression in the <var class="pv">expression</var> or SELECT list of the subselect (division by zero, or overflow) or a
character conversion error occurs, the result is the null value. As in any
other case of a null value, an indicator variable must be provided. The value
of the variable is undefined. In this case, however, the indicator variable
is set to -2. Processing of the statement continues as if the error had not
occurred. (However, a warning is returned.) If you do not provide an indicator
variable, an error is returned. It is possible that some values have already
been assigned to variables and will remain assigned when the error occurs.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold"><var class="pv">expression</var> </dt><a id="idx3234" name="idx3234"></a>
<dd>Specifies the new value of the variable. The <var class="pv">expression</var> is
any expression of the type described in <a href="rbafzmstch2expr.htm#ch2expr">Expressions</a>.
It must not include a column name.
</dd>
<dt class="bold">NULL</dt><a id="idx3235" name="idx3235"></a>
<dd>Specifies that the new value for the variable is the null value.
</dd>
<dt class="bold"><var class="pv">row-fullselect</var></dt><a id="idx3236" name="idx3236"></a>
<dd>A fullselect that returns a single result row. The result column values
are assigned to each corresponding <var class="pv">variable</var>. If the result
of the fullselect is no rows, then null values are assigned. An error is returned
if there is more than one row in the result.

<p><span class="bold">Variable assignment:</span> If the specified variable is
character and is not large enough to contain the result, a warning (SQLSTATE
01004) is returned (and 'W' is assigned to SQLWARN1 in the SQLCA).
The actual length of the result is returned in the indicator variable associated
with the variable, if an indicator variable is provided.</p>
<p>If the specified variable is a C NUL-terminated variable and is not large
enough to contain the result and the NUL-terminator:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the *CNULRQD option is specified on the CRTSQLCI or CRTSQLCPPI command
(or CNULRQD(*YES) on the SET OPTION statement), the following occurs:<a id="idx3237" name="idx3237"></a>
<ul>
<li>The result is truncated.</li>
<li>The last character is the NUL-terminator.</li>
<li>The value 'W' is assigned to SQLWARN1 in the SQLCA.</li></ul></li>
<li>If the *NOCNULRQD option on the CRTSQLCI or CRTSQLCPPI command (or CNULRQD(*NO)
on the SET OPTION statement) is specified, the following occurs:<a id="idx3238" name="idx3238"></a>
<ul>
<li>The NUL-terminator is not returned.</li>
<li>The value 'N' is assigned to SQLWARN1 in the SQLCA.</li></ul></li></ul>
