Execute the Update

The application program allocates a second statement handle that it uses to execute the positioned UPDATE or DELETE statement, which specifies the cursor name, as shown in the following:

• UPDATE table-name SET value-list WHERE CURRENT OF cursor-name
• DELETE FROM table-name WHERE CURRENT OF cursor-name

CA IDMS returns an error if no cursor name has been implicitly or explicitly specified .
