Oracle DECLARE and EXECUTE – PB Docs 126

Oracle DECLARE and EXECUTE

PowerBuilder requires a declarative statement
to identify the database stored procedure that is being used and
a logical name that can be referenced in subsequent SQL statements.
The general syntax for declaring a procedure is:

where logical_procedure_name can
be any valid PowerScript data identifier and Oracle_procedure_name is
the name of the stored procedure in the database.

The parameter references can take the form of any valid parameter
string that Oracle accepts. PowerBuilder does not inspect the parameter
list format except for purposes of variable substitution. The USING
clause is required only if you are using a transaction object other
than the default transaction object.

You can use Oracle Named or Positional notation to specify
the procedure arguments. Positional is simpler to specify, but you
must use Named if any output parameters are defined to the left
of any input parameters.

Example 1

If a stored procedure is defined as:

To declare that procedure for processing within PowerBuilder,
you code:

Note that this declaration is a non-executable statement,
just like a cursor declaration. Where cursors have an OPEN statement,
procedures have an EXECUTE statement.

When the EXECUTE statement executes, the procedure is invoked.
The EXECUTE refers to the logical procedure name.

Example 2

The following example that declares a function in a service
object that reads a pipe shows the use of named notation:

Example 3

Given this procedure:

The DECLARE statement must use named notation because output
parameters are defined to the left of input parameters:
