Coding SQLIMS statements

Delimit SQLIMS statements with EXEC SQLIMS and END-EXEC. The EXEC SQLIMS and END-EXEC delimiters must each be complete on one line. Do not code COBOL statements within EXEC SQLIMS statements.

About this task

Code an EXEC SQLIMS INCLUDE statement to include an SQLIMS communication area (SQLCA) in the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION or LOCAL-STORAGE SECTION of the outermost program. The LOCAL-STORAGE SECTION is recommended for recursive programs and programs that use the THREAD compiler option.

Restriction: You cannot use SQLIMS statements in object-oriented classes or methods.
