|

A C or C++ program can be written to use the SQLCA to check return status for embedded SQL statements, or the program can use the SQL diagnostics area to check return status.</li>

<span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />There are two types of SQL descriptor areas.
|
||
|
|
One is defined with the ALLOCATE DESCRIPTOR statement. The other is defined
|
||
|
|
using the SQL descriptor area (SQLDA) structure. In this topic, only the SQLDA
|

|
|
form is discussed.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></li>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajpembedsqlc.htm">Embed SQL statements in C and C++ applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
SQL statements can be coded in a C or C++ program wherever executable statements can appear.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajphostsqlc.htm">Use host variables in C and C++ applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
All host variables used in SQL statements must be explicitly declared prior to their first use.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajphoststrucc.htm">Use host structures in C and C++ applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
In C and C++ programs, you can define a <em>host structure</em>,
|
||
|
|
which is a named set of elementary C or C++ variables.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajphostarrayc.htm">Use arrays of host structures in C and C++ applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
In C and C++ programs, you can define a host structure array that has the dimension attribute. Host structure arrays have a maximum of two levels, even though the array might occur within a multiple-level structure. Another structure is not needed if a varying-length character string or a varying-length graphic string is not used.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajppointerdtc.htm">Use pointer data types in C and C++ applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
You can also declare host variables that are pointers to the supported C and C++ data types, with the following restrictions.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajptypedefc.htm">Use typedef in C and C++ applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
You can also use the typedef declarations to define your own identifiers that will be used in place of C type specifiers such as short, float, and double.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajpilecc.htm">Use ILE C compiler external file descriptions in C and C++ applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
You can use the C or C++ #pragma mapinc directive with the #include directive to include external file descriptions in your program.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajpequivsqlc.htm">Determine equivalent SQL and C or C++ data types</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
The precompiler determines the base SQLTYPE and SQLLEN of host variables based on the following table. If a host variable appears with an indicator variable, the SQLTYPE is the base SQLTYPE plus one.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajpindvard.htm">Use indicator variables in C and C++ applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
|
||
|

An indicator variable is a two-byte integer (short int).</li>
