INCLUDE

Includes the definition of the specified SQL data structure or source file in the COBOL program.

Syntax:

>>---EXEC SQL---INCLUDE-----.-SQLCA----.----END-EXEC----><
                            +-SQLDA----+
                            +-filename-+

Parameters:

SQLCA Indicates that a SQLCA data structure is accessed.
SQLDA Indicates that a SQLDA data structure is accessed.
filename Indicates that a file should be included in the source at this point (this is equivalent to the COBOL COPY facility).

Comment:

This statement uses the corresponding .cpy file. Ensure that sqlca.cpy and sqlda.cpy are in the current directory or that the COBCPY environment variable specifies the directory that contains them.

Example:

EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA END-EXEC
EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLDA END-EXEC
EXEC SQL INCLUDE MYFILE END-EXEC
