* Program name: ocs_test.cp
*
* Description : This program declares a cursor that retrieves rows
* from the 'titles' table based on condition checking for NULLS
* in the NON-ANSI style.
* The program will be compiled using the -e option, which will
* use the server name that the application connects to, as the
* corresponding section to look up in the configuration file.
*
EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA END-EXEC.
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC.
...
01 TITLE-ID PIC X(6).
01 PRICE PIC X(30).
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC.
...
EXEC SQL CONNECT :UID IDENTIFIED BY :PASS END-EXEC.
EXEC SQL USE pubs2 END-EXEC.
* Declare and open the cursor for select
EXEC SQL DECLARE title_list CURSOR FOR
SELECT title_id, price FROM titles
WHERE price != NULL END-EXEC.
EXEC SQL OPEN title_list END-EXEC.
* Fetch the data into host variables.
PERFORM FETCH-LOOP UNTIL SQLCODE = 100.
...
EXEC SQL CLOSE title_list END-EXEC.
EXEC SQL DEALLOCATE CURSOR title_list END-EXEC.
STOP RUN.
FETCH-LOOP.
EXEC SQL FETCH title list INTO
:TITLE-ID,
:PRICE END-EXEC.
...
END-IF.
Precompiler option to set in the makefile: cobpre
-e.
The following is a sample configuration file for the preceding program:
[DEFAULT]
;
[SYBASE]
;This is name of the server that the application connect to. Therefore
;this is the section that will be referred to a runtime.
;
CS_OPT_ANSINULL=CS_FALSE
;The above option will enable comparisons of nulls in the NON-ANSI
;style.
The above configuration files have been vastly simplified. A typical Open Client/Server configuration file would be in the following format:
[DEFAULT]
;
[ANSI_ESQL]
CS_CAP_RESPONSE=CS_RES_NOSTRIPBLANKS
CS_EXTRA_INF=CS_TRUE
CS_ANSI_BINDS=CS_TRUE
CS_OPT_ANSINULL=CS_TRUE
CS_OPT_ANSIPERM=CS_TRUE
CS_OPT_STR_RTRUNC=CS_TRUE
CS_OPT_ARITHABORT=CS_FALSE
CS_OPT_TRUNCIGNORE=CS_TRUE
CS_OPT_ISOLATION=CS_OPT_LEVEL3
CS_OPT_CHAINXACTS=CS_TRUE
CS_OPT_CURCLOSEONXACT=CS_TRUE
CS_OPT_QUOTED_IDENT=CS_TRUE
;
;The following is a sample section showing how to alter standard
;configuration:
;
[RELEVANT_SECION_NAME]
;
;Use most of the ANSI properties defined above,
;
include=ANSI_ESQL
;but override some default properties
CS_OPT_ANSINULL=CS_TRUE ; enable non-ansi style null comparisons
CS_OPT_CHAINXACTS=CS_FALSE ; run in autocommit mode
