Embedding of utility statements in programs

Program structure

Utility statements are specified in ESQL programs in the same way as SQL statements. However, utility statements may not be executed within SQL transactions. Further details on program structure are provided in the “SQL Reference Manual Part 1: SQL Statements”.

Monitoring success and error handling

A utility statement issues a return code in the same way as an SQL statement: SESAM/SQL returns an SQL status code. For further details are provided in the “SQL Reference Manual Part 1: SQL Statements”.
