Description

statement-name: Specifies the name under which the executable form of the statement (the prepared statement) is saved if there are no errors. If the name identifies an existing prepared statement, that statement is deleted. The prepared statement must not be the select-statement of an open cursor. The scope of statement-name is the same as the scope of cursor-name.
INTO: If the prepare is successful, information about the prepared statement is placed in the SQLDA specified by descrpt-name, as if you had executed a separate DESCRIBE statement.
descrpt-name: Identifies the SQLDA (descriptor name). SQLN should be set to the number of SQLVAR occurrences.
USING: Specifies if the SQLNAME field is to contain a column name or label.
NAMES: Assigns the name of the column. This is the default.
LABELS: Assigns the label of the column. A label is the column's CA Datacom Datadictionary field attribute HEADING-1.
ANY: Assigns the column label, or (if one does not exist) the column name.
BOTH: Assigns the column label to the first n occurrences, and the column label to the second n occurrences.
FROM: Specifies the statement string, which is the value of the string-expression or host-variable.
string-expression: A PL/I expression that yields a character string.
host-variable: A host-variable must be used for languages other than PL/I and identify a varying-length string variable.
