procedure declared in your source program.
</dd>
<dt class="bold">(<var class="pv">parameter-declaration,...)</var></dt>
<dd>Specifies the number of parameters of the procedure and the data type
of each parameter. A parameter for a procedure can be used only for input,
only for output, or for both input and output. Although not required, you
can give each parameter a name.
<p>The maximum number of parameters
allowed in DECLARE PROCEDURE depends on the language and the parameter style:</p>
<ul>
<li>If PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL is specified, in C and C++, the maximum is
1024. Otherwise, the maximum is 255.</li>
<li>If PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL WITH NULLS is specified, in C and C++, the
maximum is 1023. Otherwise, the maximum is 254.</li>
<li>If PARAMETER STYLE SQL or PARAMETER STYLE DB2SQL is specified, in C and
C++, the maximum is 508. Otherwise, the maximum is 90.</li>
<li>If PARAMETER STYLE JAVA or PARAMETER STYLE DB2GENERAL is specified, the
maximum is 90.</li></ul><p class="indatacontent">The maximum number of parameters is also limited by the maximum number
of parameters allowed by the licensed program used to compile the external
program or service program.</p>

</dd>
<dt class="bold"><var class="pv">data-type</var> </dt><a id="idx2322" name="idx2322"></a>
<dd>Specifies the data type of the parameter.
<p>The data type must be valid
for the language specified in the language clause. All data types are valid
for SQL procedures. DataLinks are not valid for external procedures. For more
information about data types, see <a href="rbafzmsthctabl.htm#hctabl">CREATE TABLE</a>, and the <a href="../sqlp/rbafykickoff.htm">SQL Programming</a> book.</p>
<p>If a CCSID is specified, the
parameter will be converted to that CCSID prior to passing it to the procedure.
If a CCSID is not specified, the CCSID is determined by the default CCSID
at the current server at the time the procedure is called.</p>
</dd><a id="idx2323" name="idx2323"></a>
<dt class="bold">AS LOCATOR</dt>
<dd>Specifies that the parameter is a locator to the value rather than the
actual value. You can specify AS LOCATOR only if the parameter has a LOB data
type or a distinct type based on a LOB data type. If AS LOCATOR is specified,
FOR SBCS DATA or FOR MIXED DATA must not be specified.

</dd>
<dt class="bold">DYNAMIC RESULT SETS <var class="pv">integer</var> </dt><a id="idx2324" name="idx2324"></a>
<dd>Specifies the maximum number of result sets that can be returned from
the procedure. <var class="pv">integer</var> must be greater than or equal to zero and
less than 32768. If zero is specified, no result sets are returned. If the
SET RESULT SETS statement is issued, the number of results returned is the
minimum of the number of result sets specified on this keyword and the SET
RESULT SETS statement.
<p>Result sets are only returned if the procedure
is directly called or if the procedure is a RETURN TO CLIENT procedure and
is indirectly called from ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, .NET, the SQL Call Level Interface,

attribute information associated with the external program. If the program
attribute information associated with the program does not identify a recognizable
language, then the language is assumed to be C. </p>

<dd>Specifies the program that will be executed when the procedure is called
by the CALL statement. The program name must identify a program that exists
at the application server. The program cannot be an ILE service program.
<p>The validity
of the name is checked at the application server. If the format of the name is not
correct, an error is returned.</p>
<p>If external-program-name is not specified,
the external program name is assumed to be the same as the procedure name.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">PARAMETER STYLE</dt>
<dd>Specifies the conventions used for passing parameters to and returning
the values from procedures:
<dl class="parml"><a id="idx2334" name="idx2334"></a>
<dt class="bold">SQL</dt>
<dd>Specifies that in addition to the parameters on the CALL statement,
several additional parameters are passed to the procedure. The parameters
are defined to be in the following order:
<ul>
<li>The first N parameters are the parameters that are specified on the DECLARE
PROCEDURE statement.</li>
<li>N parameters for indicator variables for the parameters.</li>
<li>A CHAR(5) output parameter for SQLSTATE. The SQLSTATE returned indicates
the success or failure of the procedure. The SQLSTATE returned is assigned
by the external program.
<p>The user may set the SQLSTATE to any valid value
in the external program to return an error or warning from the function.</p></li>
<li>A VARCHAR(517) input parameter for the fully qualified procedure name.</li>
<li>A VARCHAR(128) input parameter for the specific name.</li>
<li>A VARCHAR(70) output parameter for the message text.</li></ul>For more information about the parameters passed, see the include <span>sqludf</span> in the appropriate source file in library QSYSINC.
For example, for C, sqludf can be found in QSYSINC/H.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE SQL
cannot be used with LANGUAGE JAVA.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">DB2GENERAL </dt><a id="idx2335" name="idx2335"></a>
<dd>Specifies that the procedure will use a parameter passing convention
that is defined for use with Java&trade; methods.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE DB2GENERAL
can only be specified with LANGUAGE JAVA. For details on passing parameters
in JAVA, see the <a href="../rzaha/whatitis.htm">IBM&reg; Developer Kit for Java</a>
book.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">DB2SQL</dt><a id="idx2336" name="idx2336"></a>
<dd>Specifies that in addition to the parameters on the CALL statement,
several additional parameters are passed to the procedure. DB2SQL is identical
to the SQL parameter style, except that the following additional parameter
may be passed as the last parameter:
<ul>
<li>A parameter for the dbinfo structure, if DBINFO was specified on the DECLARE
PROCEDURE statement.</li></ul>For more information about the parameters passed, see the include <span>sqludf</span> in the appropriate source file in library QSYSINC.
For example, for C, sqludf can be found in QSYSINC/H.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE DB2SQL
cannot be used with LANGUAGE JAVA.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">GENERAL </dt><a id="idx2337" name="idx2337"></a>
<dd>Specifies that the procedure will use a parameter passing mechanism
where the procedure receives the parameters specified on the
CALL. Additional arguments are not passed for indicator variables.
<p>PARAMETER
STYLE GENERAL cannot be used with LANGUAGE JAVA.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">GENERAL WITH NULLS </dt><a id="idx2338" name="idx2338"></a>
<dd>Specifies that in addition to the parameters on the CALL statement as
specified in GENERAL, another argument is passed to the procedure.
This additional argument contains an indicator array with an element for each
of the parameters of the CALL statement. In C, this would be an array of short
INTs. For more information about how the indicators are handled, see the <a href="../sqlp/rbafykickoff.htm">SQL Programming</a> book.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL WITH NULLS
cannot be used with LANGUAGE JAVA.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">JAVA </dt><a id="idx2339" name="idx2339"></a>
<dd>Specifies that the procedure will use a parameter passing convention
that conforms to the Java language and SQLJ Routines specification.
INOUT and OUT parameters will be passed as single entry arrays to facilitate
returning values. For increased portability, you should write Java procedures
that use the PARAMETER STYLE JAVA conventions.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE JAVA can
only be specified with LANGUAGE JAVA. For details on passing parameters in
JAVA, see the <a href="../rzaha/whatitis.htm">IBM Developer Kit for Java</a>
book.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Note that the language of the external function determines how
the parameters are passed. For example, in C, any VARCHAR or CHAR parameters
are passed as NUL-terminated strings. For more information, see the <a href="../sqlp/rbafykickoff.htm">SQL Programming</a> book. For Java routines, see the <a href="../rzaha/whatitis.htm">IBM Developer
Kit for Java</a>.</p>

<p><span class="bold">DECLARE PROCEDURE scope:</span> The scope of the <span class="italic">procedure-name</span> is the source program in which it is defined; that is,
