Reserved Words in Declarations
All Embedded SQL keywords are reserved. Therefore, you cannot declare variables with the same name as ESQL keywords. You can only use them in quoted string literals. These words are:
byte
case
com
common
constant
decimal
dim
dimension
double
dynamic
external
integer
long
map
real
record
single
string
variant
word
The Embedded SQL preprocessor does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase in keywords. In generating BASIC code, it converts any uppercase letters in keywords to lowercase.
