SQL/MX Statements

HP NonStop SQL/MX Reference Manual—523725-004

2-135

EXECUTE Statement

The module that contains EXECUTE must also contain a PREPARE statement for

statement-name.

USING param-value [,param-value]...

specifies values for the unnamed parameters in the prepared statement. The data

type of a parameter value must be compatible with the data type of the associated

parameter. Parameter values are substituted for unnamed parameters in the

prepared statement by position—the i-th value in the USING clause is the value for

the i-th unnamed parameter in the statement.

If there are more values in the value list than there are unnamed parameters in the

PREPARE statement, NonStop SQL/MX ignores the extra values; if there are fewer

unnamed values in the value list, NonStop SQL/MX returns an error.

The values for any named parameters in the prepared statement must be

previously specified with SET PARAM commands.

param-value

is a numeric or character literal that specifies the value for the parameter. The

param-value can also be the NULL keyword. You must enter it in uppercase

letters. If param-value is a character literal and the target column is character,

you do not have to enclose it in single quotation marks. Its data type is determined

from the data type of the column to which the literal is assigned.

ext-statement-name

is a value-specification—a host variable with a character data type. When

EXECUTE executes, the content of the value specification must identify a

statement previously prepared within the scope of EXECUTE.

GLOBAL | LOCAL

specifies the scope of the prepared statement. The default is LOCAL. A GLOBAL

prepared statement can be executed within the SQL session. A LOCAL prepared

statement can be executed only within the module or compilation unit in which it

was prepared.

A prepared SQL statement must be currently available whose name is the value of

ext-statement-name and whose scope is the same scope as specified in the

EXECUTE statement.

{USING | INTO} variable-spec [,variable-spec]...

identifies the host variables for the parameters of SQL-statement-name.

Before EXECUTE with USING executes, the application must store information for

each input parameter of the prepared statement in the appropriate host variable.
