<div><p>The PL/I precompiler attempts to use the structure parameter passing
technique, if possible. This structure parameter passing technique provides
better performance for most PL/I programs using SQL.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The precompiler generates code where each host variable is a separate
parameter when the following conditions are true: </p>
<ul><li>A PL/I %INCLUDE compiler directive is found that copies external text
into the source program.</li>
<li>The data length of the host variables referred to in the statement is
greater than 32703. Because SQL uses 64 bytes of the structure, 32703 + 64
= 32767, the maximum length of a data structure.</li>
<li>The PL/I precompiler estimates that it could possibly exceed the PL/I
limit for user-defined names.</li>
<li>A sign leading separate host variable is found in the host variable list
for the SQL statement.</li>
</ul>
