The Embedded SQL precompiler processes the included file as though it were part of the Embedded SQL source file, recognizing all declare sections and SQL statements. The Embedded SQL precompiler writes the resulting host language source code into the generated file.
Use the include path precompiler command line option to specify the directories to be searched for any included files. Refer to the Open Client and Open Server Programmer’s Supplement for more information on precompiler command line options.
Included files can be nested up to a maximum depth of 32 files.
The include "filename" statement can be used anywhere.
