SQLMEM

USER

declares SQL/MP data structures in the Working-Storage Section (user data

segment). This option is not recommended, because SQL/MP data structures can

exhaust the Working-Storage Section.

EXT

declares SQL/MP data structures in the Extended-Storage Section (extended data

segment), which is created for every HP COBOL program at run time whether it

declares one or not. This option is recommended.

Default: None. If the program contains SQL/MP statements, the SQL directive is

required; otherwise, it is unnecessary.

Placement: The COBOL85 compiler accepts SQL and NOSQL in either the source

code (before the first Identification Division in the program) or the

compiler command line; the NMCOBOL compiler accepts them only in

the compiler command line.

Scope: Applies to the compilation unit

Dependencies: SQL works only if LIST is active and SUPPRESS is not.

LIST and NOLIST

SUPPRESS and NOSUPPRESS

Note. The NMCOBOL compiler ignores this directive and issues a warning. The concept of

extended memory does not exist for TNS/R processes.

Default: SQLMEM EXT

Placement: The first SQLMEM in a program must be preceded by SQL. Subsequent

SQLMEMs can appear anywhere in the program.

Scope: Applies to all SQL/MP statements between it and the next SQLMEM

Dependencies: SQLMEM is allowed only in programs that also contain SQL.

References: SQL and NOSQL
