Placing Statements and Directives

Place SQL statements and directives and C compiler pragmas in a C source file.
SQL Pragma
To use embedded SQL statements and directives in a C program, you must specify the
SQL pragma before any SQL or C statements (except comment statements). You can
specify the SQL pragma either in your source file or as a compiler option in the implicit
TACL RUN command that starts the C compiler. This example uses the SQL pragma in
a source code file:
#pragma SQL
This example uses the SQL pragma as a compiler option:
C / IN csrc, OUT $s.#clst, NOWAIT / cobj; SQL
After the SQL pragma, place other SQL statements and directives in a C source file as
described in these paragraphs.
C Variable Declarations
You can use these statements and directives with C variable declarations:

BEGIN DECLARE SECTION and END DECLARE SECTION directives

DECLARE CURSOR statements for static SQL operations

INVOKE directive

INCLUDE STRUCTURES directive

INCLUDE SQLCA, INCLUDE SQLSA, and INCLUDE SQLDA directives
C Executable Statements
You can use these statements with C executable statements:

Data manipulation language (DML) statements

Data control language (DCL) statements

Data definition language (DDL) statements

Data status language (DSL) statements

Transaction control statements

Dynamic SQL statements (including DECLARE CURSOR)
