A query may be issued by either defining a cursor or a direct query where only one row is expected. The syntax for the later case is shown below.
<query> ::=
'SELECT' <column list>
'INTO' <host variable list>
'WHERE'...... rest of query ......
;
<host variable list> ::=
<variable> [ ['INDICATOR'] <variable>
| <host variable list>
| <empty>
;
<variable> :: = ':' <identifier> ;
The esql handles this statement as a normal SQL statement but removing the 'INTO' clause from the SQL string which is sent to the dbcs. The host variables listed in the <host variable list> are used to store the columns of the query result.
<fetch clause;> ::=
'FETCH'
[ 'FROM' <cursor>
| 'USING' [ 'STATEMENT' ] <statementname> ]
'INTO' <host variable list>
;
Either a cursor name or a statement name (see dynamic sql) may be given as a source for the fetch command.
