|
|
<p>The BEGIN DECLARE SECTION statement is used to indicate the beginning
|
|
of an SQL declare section. It can be coded in the application program wherever
|
|
variable declarations can appear in accordance with the rules of the host
|
|
language. It cannot be coded in the middle of a host structure declaration.
|
|
An SQL declare section ends with an END DECLARE SECTION statement, described
|
|
in <a href="rbafzmsteds.htm#eds">END DECLARE SECTION</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>The BEGIN DECLARE SECTION and the END DECLARE SECTION statements must be
|
|
paired and cannot be nested.</p>
|
|
<p>SQL statements should not be included within a declare section, with the
|
|
exception of the DECLARE VARIABLE and INCLUDE statements.</p>
|
|
<p>If SQL declare sections are specified in the program, only the variables
|
|
declared within the SQL declare sections can be used as host variables. If
|
|
SQL declare sections are not specified in the program, all variables in the
|
|
program are eligible for use as host variables.</p>
|
|
<p>SQL declare sections should be specified for host languages, other than
|
|
RPG and REXX, so that the source program conforms to the IBM® SQL standard
|
|
of SQL. SQL declare sections are required for all host variables in C++. The
|
|
SQL declare section should appear before the first reference to the variable.
|
|
Host variables are declared without the use of these statements in Java and
|
|
RPG, and they are not declared at all in REXX.</p>
|
|
<p>Variables declared outside an SQL declare section should not have the same
|
|
name as variables declared within an SQL declare section.</p>
|
|
<p>More than one SQL declare section can be specified in the program.</p>
