<dl class="parml">
<dt class="bold">PROCEDURE or SPECIFIC PROCEDURE</dt><a id="idx1279" name="idx1279"></a><a id="idx1280" name="idx1280"></a>
<dd>Identifies the procedure to alter. <span class="italic">procedure-name</span> must identify a procedure that exists at the current server.
<p>The
specified procedure is altered. The owner of the procedure is preserved. If
the external program or service program exists at the time the procedure is
altered, all privileges on the procedure are preserved.</p>
<dl class="parml">
<dt class="bold">PROCEDURE <var class="pv">procedure-name</var></dt>
<dd> Identifies the procedure by its name. The <var class="pv">procedure-name</var> must
identify exactly one procedure. The procedure may have any number of parameters
defined for it. If there is more than one procedure of the specified name
in the specified or implicit schema, an error is returned.
</dd>
<dt class="bold">PROCEDURE <var class="pv">procedure-name (parameter-type,...)</var></dt>
<dd>Identifies the procedure by its procedure signature, which
uniquely identifies the procedure. The <var class="pv">procedure-name (parameter-type,...)</var> must identify a procedure with the specified procedure signature. The
specified parameters must match the data types in the corresponding position
that were specified when the procedure was created. The number of data types
and the logical concatenation of the data types is used to identify the specific
procedure instance which is being altered. Synonyms for data types are considered
a match.
<p>If <var class="pv">procedure-name()</var> is specified, the procedure identified
must have zero parameters.</p>
<dl class="parml">
<dt class="bold"><var class="pv">procedure-name</var></dt>
<dd>Identifies the name of the procedure.
</dd>
<dt class="bold"><var class="pv">(parameter-type,...)</var></dt>
<dd>Identifies the parameters of the procedure.
<p>If an unqualified distinct
type name is specified, the database manager searches the SQL path to resolve
the schema name for the distinct type.</p>
<p>For data types that have a length,
precision, or scale attribute, use one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Empty parenthesis indicates that the database manager ignores the attribute
when determining whether the data types match. For example, DEC() will be
considered a match for a parameter of a procedure defined with a data type
of DEC(7,2). However, FLOAT cannot be specified with empty parenthesis because
its precision value indicates a specific data type (REAL or DOUBLE).</li>
<li>If a specific value for a length, precision, or scale attribute is specified,
the value must exactly match the value that was specified (implicitly or explicitly)
in the CREATE PROCEDURE statement. If the data type is FLOAT, the precision
does not have to exactly match the value that was specified because matching
is based on the data type (REAL or DOUBLE).</li>
<li>If length, precision, or scale is not explicitly specified, and empty
parentheses are not specified, the default attributes of the data type are
implied. The implicit length must exactly match the value that was specified
(implicitly or explicitly) in the CREATE PROCEDURE statement.</li></ul>
<p>Specifying the FOR DATA clause or CCSID clause is optional. Omission
of either clause indicates that the database manager ignores the attribute when determining
whether the data types match. If either clause is specified, it must match
the value that was implicitly or explicitly specified in the CREATE PROCEDURE
statement.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">AS LOCATOR</dt>
<dd>Specifies that the procedure is defined to receive a locator for this
parameter. If AS LOCATOR is specified, the data type must be a LOB or a distinct
type based on a LOB.
</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">SPECIFIC PROCEDURE <var class="pv">specific-name</var></dt>
<dd>Identifies the procedure by its specific name. The <var class="pv">specific-name</var> must identify a specific procedure that exists at the current server.
</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">ALTER <var class="pv">option-list</var></dt>
<dd>Indicates that one or more of the options of the procedure are to be
altered. If an option is not specified, the value from the existing procedure
definition is used.
<dl class="parml">
<dt class="bold">LANGUAGE </dt><a id="idx1281" name="idx1281"></a>

<dd>Specifies the conventions used for passing parameters to and returning
the values from procedures:
<dl class="parml"><a id="idx1282" name="idx1282"></a>
<dt class="bold">SQL</dt>
<dd>Specifies that in addition to the parameters on the CALL statement,
several additional parameters are passed to the procedure. The parameters
are defined to be in the following order:
<ul>
<li>The first N parameters are the parameters that are specified on the CREATE
PROCEDURE statement.</li>
<li>N parameters for indicator variables for the parameters.</li>
<li>A CHAR(5) output parameter for SQLSTATE. The SQLSTATE returned indicates
the success or failure of the procedure. The SQLSTATE returned is assigned
by the external program.
<p>The user may set the SQLSTATE to any valid value
in the external program to return an error or warning from the procedure.</p></li>
<li>A VARCHAR(517) input parameter for the fully qualified procedure name.</li>
<li>A VARCHAR(128) input parameter for the specific name.</li>
<li>A VARCHAR(70) output parameter for the message text.</li></ul>For more information about the parameters passed, see the include <span>sqludf</span> in the appropriate source file in library QSYSINC.
For example, for C, sqludf can be found in QSYSINC/H.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE SQL
cannot be used with LANGUAGE JAVA.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">DB2GENERAL </dt><a id="idx1283" name="idx1283"></a>
<dd>Specifies that the procedure will use a parameter passing convention
that is defined for use with Java&trade; methods.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE DB2GENERAL
can only be specified with LANGUAGE JAVA. For details on passing parameters
in JAVA, see the <a href="../rzaha/whatitis.htm">IBM&reg; Developer Kit for Java</a>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">DB2SQL</dt><a id="idx1284" name="idx1284"></a>
<dd>Specifies that in addition to the parameters on the CALL statement,
several additional parameters are passed to the procedure. DB2SQL is identical
to the SQL parameter style, except that the following additional parameter
may be passed as the last parameter:
<ul>
<li>A parameter for the dbinfo structure, if DBINFO was specified on the CREATE
PROCEDURE statement.</li></ul>For more information about the parameters passed, see the include <span>sqludf</span> in the appropriate source file in library QSYSINC.
For example, for C, sqludf can be found in QSYSINC/H.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE DB2SQL
cannot be used with LANGUAGE JAVA.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">GENERAL </dt><a id="idx1285" name="idx1285"></a>
<dd>Specifies that the procedure will use a parameter passing mechanism
where the procedure receives the parameters specified on the CALL. Additional
arguments are not passed for indicator variables.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL
cannot be used with LANGUAGE JAVA.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">GENERAL WITH NULLS </dt><a id="idx1286" name="idx1286"></a>
<dd>Specifies that in addition to the parameters on the CALL statement as
specified in GENERAL, another argument is passed to the procedure. This additional
argument contains an indicator array with an element for each of the parameters
of the CALL statement. In C, this would be an array of short INTs. For more
information about how the indicators are handled, see the <a href="../sqlp/rbafykickoff.htm">SQL Programming</a> book.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL WITH NULLS cannot be used
with LANGUAGE JAVA.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">JAVA </dt><a id="idx1287" name="idx1287"></a>
<dd>Specifies that the procedure will use a parameter passing
convention that conforms to the Java language and ISO/IEC FCD 9075-13:2003, <span class="italic">Information technology - Database languages - SQL - Part 13: Java Routines and Types (SQL/JRT)</span> specification. INOUT and OUT
parameters will be passed as single entry arrays to facilitate returning values.
<p>PARAMETER STYLE JAVA can only be specified with LANGUAGE JAVA. For increased
portability, you should write Java procedures that use the PARAMETER
STYLE JAVA conventions. For details on passing parameters in JAVA, see the <a href="../rzaha/whatitis.htm">IBM Developer Kit for Java</a> book.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Note that the language of the external procedure determines how
the parameters are passed. For example, in C, any VARCHAR or CHAR parameters
are passed as NUL-terminated strings. For more information, see the <a href="../sqlp/rbafykickoff.htm">SQL Programming</a> book. For Java routines, see the <a href="../rzaha/whatitis.htm">IBM Developer
Kit for Java</a>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">EXTERNAL NAME <var class="pv">external-program-name</var> </dt><a id="idx1288" name="idx1288"></a>
<dd>Specifies the program or service program that will be executed when
the procedure is called by the CALL statement. The program name must identify
a program or service program that exists at the application server at the time the
procedure is called. If the naming option is *SYS and the name is not qualified:
<ul>
<li>The current path will be used to search for the program or service program
at the time the procedure is called.</li>
<li>*LIBL will be used to search for the program or service program at the
time grants or revokes are performed on the procedure.</li></ul>
<p>The validity of the name is checked at the application server. If the format
of the name is not correct, an error is returned.</p>
<p>The external program
or service program need not exist at the time the procedure is altered, but
it must exist at the time the procedure is called.</p>
<p>CONNECT, SET CONNECTION,
RELEASE, DISCONNECT, and SET TRANSACTION statements are not allowed in a procedure
that is running on a remote application server. COMMIT and ROLLBACK statements are
not allowed in an ATOMIC SQL procedure or in a procedure that is running on
a connection to a remote application server.</p>

procedure is called with the same IN and INOUT arguments.
<dl class="parml">
<dt class="bold">NOT DETERMINISTIC</dt>
<dd>The procedure may not return the same result each time the procedure
is called with the same IN and INOUT arguments, even when the referenced data
in the database has not changed.
</dd>
<dt class="bold">DETERMINISTIC</dt>
<dd>The procedure always returns the same results each time the procedure

values are null.
</dd>
<dt class="bold">DYNAMIC RESULT SETS <var class="pv">integer</var></dt><a id="idx1296" name="idx1296"></a>
<dd>Specifies the maximum number of result sets that can be returned
from the procedure. <var class="pv">integer</var> must be greater than or equal to zero
and less than 32768. If zero is specified, no result sets are returned. If
the SET RESULT SETS statement is issued, the number of result sets returned
is the minimum of the number of results sets specified on this keyword and
the SET RESULT SETS statement. If the SET RESULT SETS statement specifies
a number larger than the maximum number of result sets, a warning is returned.
Note that any result sets from cursors that have a RETURN TO CLIENT attribute
are included in the number of result sets of the outermost procedure.
<p>The result sets are scrollable if a cursor is used to return a result set
and the cursor is scrollable. If a cursor is used to return a result set,
the result set starts with the current position. Thus, if 5 FETCH NEXT operations
have been performed prior to returning from the procedure, the result set
will start with the 6th row of the result set.</p>
<p>Result sets are only
returned if both the following are true: </p>
<ul>
<li>the procedure is directly called or if the procedure is a RETURN
TO CLIENT procedure and is indirectly called from ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, .NET,
the SQL Call Level Interface, or the iSeries Access Family Optimized SQL API, and</li>
<li>the external program does not have an attribute of ACTGRP(*NEW).</li></ul><p class="indatacontent">For more information about result sets see <a href="rbafzmsthsetrs.htm#hsetrs">SET RESULT SETS</a>.</p>
