<div><p>The following rules pertain to the processing of a dynamic CALL
|
|
statement when there is no CREATE PROCEDURE definition.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><ul><li>All arguments are treated as IN type parameters.</li>
|
|
<li>The CALL type is GENERAL (no indicator argument is passed).</li>
|
|
<li>The program to call is determined based on the procedure name specified
|
|
on the CALL and the naming convention.</li>
|
|
<li>The language of the program to call is determined based on information
|
|
retrieved from the system about the program.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example: Dynamic CALL statement where no CREATE PROCEDURE
|
|
exists</h4><p>The following is a C example of a dynamic CALL statement:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre> char hv3[10],string[100];
|
|
:
|
|
strcpy(string,"CALL MYLIB.P3 ('P3 TEST')");
|
|
EXEC SQL <strong>EXECUTE IMMEDIATE</strong> :string;
|
|
:
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>This example shows a dynamic CALL statement executed through an
|
|
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement. The call is made to program MYLIB.P3 with one
|
|
parameter passed as a character variable containing 'P3 TEST'.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>When executing a CALL statement and passing a constant, as in
|
|
the previous example, the length of the expected argument in the program must
|
|
be kept in mind. If program MYLIB.P3 expected an argument of only 5 characters,
|
|
the last 2 characters of the constant specified in the example is lost to
|
|
the program. </p>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> For this reason, it is always safer to use host variables
|
|
on the CALL statement so that the attributes of the procedure can be matched
|
|
exactly and so that characters are not lost. For dynamic SQL, host variables
|
|
can be specified for CALL statement arguments if the PREPARE and EXECUTE statements
|
|
are used to process it.</div>
