INCLUDE Directive

For users of PL/I and Assembler, the INCLUDE directive attaches special meaning to a member name of SQLDA, referring to the SQL Descriptor Area (for more information on the SQLDA, see SQL Descriptor Area (SQLDA)). When INCLUDE SQLDA is specified, the Preprocessor for PL/I or Assembler includes the description of an SQL Descriptor Area (SQLDA) for use by dynamic SQL statements. For more information on the INCLUDE directive, for PL/I see Rules for SQL INCLUDEs in PL/I, or for Assembler see Rules for SQL INCLUDEs in Assembler. For an example SQLDA in COBOL, see Example.
