SQL0005S host variable used without colon

The host variable is defined without a colon in the SQL statement.
Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments only.

No action is required, as this is a warning. For compatibility across multiple SQL syntaxes, a colon should always precede host variables. Currently, SQL Option and DB2 support the use of host variables without a colon, but this feature may be revoked at some time in the future.
