SQLCA variables

When the precompiler encounters the include sqlca statement, it inserts the SQLCA structure declaration into the application program. SQLCA is a data structure containing precompiler-determined system variables, each of which can be accessed independently. Your application program should never directly alter these variables.

SQLCA variables pass information to your application program about the status of the most recently executed Embedded SQL statement.

The following table describes the SQLCA variables that hold status information, return codes, error codes, and error messages generated by Adaptive Server:

**Table 3-1: Adaptive Server SQLCA variables**

sqlerrm.sqlerrmc[ ]	char	Error message.
