Using SQLIMS INCLUDE with the IMS SQL coprocessor

An SQLIMS INCLUDE statement is treated identically to a native COBOL COPY statement when you use the SQLIMS compiler option.

About this task

The following two lines are therefore treated the same way. The period that ends the EXEC SQLIMS INCLUDE statement is required.


EXEC SQLIMS INCLUDE name END-EXEC.
COPY "name".

The processing of the name in an SQLIMS INCLUDE statement follows the same rules as the literal in a COPY literal-1 statement that does not have a REPLACING phrase.

The library search order for SQLIMS INCLUDE statements is the same SYSLIB concatenation as the compiler uses to resolve COBOL COPY statements that do not specify a library-name.
