include_file_name
The name of the source file to be included.
If text_name is SQLCA or SQLDA, a special case results: INCLUDE SQLCA and INCLUDE SQLDA are not instances of INCLUDE and are defined separately.

Usage Notes

  • Preprocessor2 searches the directory path for a file having the specified name and a language specific file extension:
    For this language … Preprocessor2 searches for this INCLUDE file type …
    C pc
    COBOL pb
    PL/I pi
  • The length of the INCLUDE filename can be up to 30 bytes.
  • The INCLUDE statement is effectively replaced by the included text in the application program input to Preprocessor2.
  • INCLUDE statements cannot be nested.

    Included text can contain any embedded SQL statements except another INCLUDE.

  • You can specify INCLUDE SQLCA and INCLUDE SQLDA statements in the included text.
