CALL statement   Use of this statement to invoke a function is deprecated. If you have a function you want to call, consider using an assignment statement to invoke the function and assign its result to a variable. For example:

DECLARE varname INT; SET varname=test( );

See CALL statement.

SET OPTION statement   The ability to specify an identifier as an option value in a SET OPTION statement, rather than a string literal, has been deprecated.

However, you can still specify the Host (IP) protocol option in a CommLinks(LINKS) connection parameter from the client side. See Host (IP) protocol option (client side only).
