Converting Source Members with Embedded SQL
When converting code that contains embedded SQL and the SQL code is continued
over multiple lines, the following will occur:
- If there are continuation lines but column 74 is blank, the line is simply
copied to the ILE member.
Note: This could be a problem if column 74 happens to be a blank character inside a character string.
- If column 74 is not blank, all of the SQL code from that line to the /END-EXEC
will be concatenated and copied to the ILE member filling up all 80 columns.
If this occurs:
- Any comments in column 75 on, will be ignored.
- Any embedded comment lines (C*) will be copied to the ILE member before the concatenated code is copied.
- Problems could arise if DBCS literals are split.
If you do not want this concatenation and re-formatting to occur, ensure that column 74 is blank.
