for embedding SQL statements in an <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> PL/I
program. Requirements for host structures and host variables are defined.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajpcodp.htm">Define the SQL communications area in PL/I applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
A PL/I program that contains SQL statements must include one or both of the following:</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajpsqldapli.htm">Define SQL descriptor areas in PL/I applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
<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 SQLDA structure. In this section, only the SQLDA form is discussed.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajpembedsqlpli.htm">Embed SQL statements in PL/I applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
The first statement of the PL/I program must be a PROCEDURE statement.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajphostvariablespli.htm">Use host variables in PL/I applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
All host variables used in SQL statements must be explicitly declared.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajphoststrucpli.htm">Use host structures in PL/I applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
In PL/I programs, you can define a <strong>host structure</strong>, which
is a named set of elementary PL/I variables. A host structure name can be
a group name whose subordinate levels name elementary PL/I variables.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajphostarraypli.htm">Use host structure arrays in PL/I applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
In PL/I programs, you can define a host structure array.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajppcticld.htm">Use external file descriptions in PL/I applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
You can use the PL/I %INCLUDE directive to include the definitions of externally described files in a source program.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajpequivsqlpli.htm">Determine equivalent SQL and PL/I data types</a></strong><br />
The precompiler determines the base SQLTYPE and SQLLEN of host variables based on the following table.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajpindvp.htm">Use indicator variables in PL/I applications that use SQL</a></strong><br />
An indicator variable is a two-byte integer (BIN FIXED(p), where p is 1 to 15).</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajppliparm.htm">Differences in PL/I because of structure parameter passing techniques</a></strong><br />
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.</li>
