Embedded SQL/MP
HP COBOL accepts the syntax for statements in all of these areas; however, certain
statements do not apply to NonStop system environments. In such cases, HP COBOL
treats these statements as comments after checking that the statements are
syntactically correct.
Embedded SQL/MP
The HP COBOL embedded SQL/MP implementation conforms fully to the ANSI
Database—Embedded NonStop SQL Standard (ANSI X3.168-1989), with the
restrictions and extensions mentioned in SQL/MP Programming Manual for COBOL.
SQL/MP is compatible with every HP COBOL compiler (see Table 1-3).
Embedded SQL/MX
The HP COBOL embedded SQL/MX implementation conforms to SQL:1999 standards
as described in SQL/MX Reference Manual with the restrictions and extensions
mentioned in SQL/MX Programming Manual for C and COBOL.
SQL/MX is compatible with every HP COBOL compiler except COBOL85 (see
Table 1-3).
