<h1 class="topictitle1">Use statement entry function</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>The statement entry function is the function you first enter when
|
||
|
|
selecting interactive SQL. You return to the statement entry function after
|
||
|
|
processing each interactive SQL statement.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>In the statement entry function, you type or prompt for the entire
|
||
|
|
SQL statement and then submit it for processing by pressing the Enter key.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The statement you type on the command line can
|
||
|
|
be one or more lines long. You can type bracketed comments (/* */) in interactive
|
||
|
|
SQL. However, you should not use simple comments (that is, comments
|
||
|
|
starting with --) in interactive SQL because these comments then include the
|
||
|
|
remainder of the SQL statement within the comment. When the statement has
|
||
|
|
been processed, the statement and the resulting message are moved upward on
|
||
|
|
the display. You can then enter another statement.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>If a statement is recognized by SQL but contains a syntax error,
|
||
|
|
the statement and the resulting text message (syntax error) are moved upward
|
||
|
|
on the display. In the input area, a copy of the statement is shown with the
|
||
|
|
cursor positioned at the syntax error. You can place the cursor on the message
|
||
|
|
and press F1=Help for more information about the error.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>You can page through previous statements, commands, and messages.
|
||
|
|
If you press F9=Retrieve with your cursor on the statement entry line, your
|
||
|
|
previous statement is copied to the input area. Pressing F9 again causes it
|
||
|
|
to scroll back one more statement and copy that to the input area. Continuing
|
||
|
|
to press F9 allows you to scroll back through your previous statements until
|
||
|
|
you find the one that you want. If you need more room to type an SQL statement,
|
||
|
|
page down on the display.</p>
