•
This example uses extended statement names:
...
strcpy(stmt,"ins_cust1");
EXEC SQL PREPARE :stmt FROM :stmt_buffer;
EXEC SQL EXECUTE :stmt;
...
strcpy(stmt,"ins_cust2");
EXEC SQL PREPARE :stmt FROM :stmt_buffer;
EXEC SQL EXECUTE :stmt; 
COBOL Examples of EXECUTE
•
Prepare and execute an UPDATE statement with dynamic input parameters:
 ...
 MOVE "UPDATE SALES.CUSTOMER SET CREDIT = ? 
 & " WHERE CUSTNUM = CAST(? AS NUMERIC(4) UNSIGNED)"
 TO stmt-buffer.
 ...
 EXEC SQL PREPARE upd_cust FROM :stmt-buffer END-EXEC.
 ...
* Input values for parameters into host variables 
 ACCEPT in-credit.
 ...
 ACCEPT in-custnum.
 ...
 EXEC SQL EXECUTE upd_cust 
 USING :in-credit, :in-custnum 
 END-EXEC. 
 ...
•
Prepare a statement, allocate input and output descriptor areas, describe the input 
and output descriptor areas, and execute the statement by using the content of the 
descriptor areas:
...
MOVE "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE" 
 & " WHERE EMPNUM = CAST(? AS NUMERIC(4) UNSIGNED)" 
TO stmt-buffer.
...
EXEC SQL PREPARE S1 FROM :stmt-buffer END-EXEC.
...
MOVE 1 TO desc-max.
EXEC SQL ALLOCATE DESCRIPTOR 'in_args' 
 WITH MAX :desc-max END-EXEC. 
MOVE 6 TO desc-max.
EXEC SQL ALLOCATE DESCRIPTOR 'out_cols' 
 WITH MAX :desc-max END-EXEC.
...
EXEC SQL DESCRIBE INPUT S1 
 USING SQL DESCRIPTOR 'in_args'
END-EXEC.
EXEC SQL DESCRIBE OUTPUT S1 
 USING SQL DESCRIPTOR 'out_cols'
