SQLAllocStmt() allocates a statement handle. A statement handle refers to the data object that contains information about an SQL statement that is managed by DB2® UDB CLI. This includes information such as dynamic arguments, cursor information, bindings for dynamic arguments and columns, result values, and status information (these are discussed later). Each statement handle is associated with a connection handle.
Allocate a statement handle in order to run a statement.
You can concurrently allocate up to 160 000 handles. This applies to all types
of handles, including descriptor handles that are implicitly allocated by
the implementation code.
