SQLCA_DISPLAY2_
SQLCA_DISPLAY2_
The SQLCA_DISPLAY2_ procedure displays the error or warning messages that 
SQL/MP returns to the SQLCA structure. SQLCA_DISPLAY2_ writes the information to 
a file or to a terminal. 
The information returned to the SQLCA structure can originate from these subsystems 
or system components: 
SQL/MP 
NonStop OS 
File system 
Disk process (DP2) 
FastSort program (SORTPROG process) 
Sequential I/O (SIO) procedures 
SQL/MP communicates errors, warnings, and statistics to a program through the 
SQLCA structure. However, because the SQLCA contains information in a format that 
is not appropriate to display, you must call the SQLCA_DISPLAY2_ procedure to 
convert this information to an appropriate format. 
sqlca required input
is the record name of the SQLCA structure.
output-file-number optional input
PIC S9(4) COMP
is the output file number. If you omit this value or set it to a negative value, 
SQLCA_DISPLAY2_ displays information on your home terminal.
