General Syntax of Forms Statements

Forms statements require the following syntax.

ESQL/FORMS:

[margin] exec frs forms_statement [terminator]

EQUEL/FORMS:

[margin] ## forms_statement [terminator]

If you are programming in embedded SQL, the key word frs replaces the key word sql following exec. If you are programming in embedded QUEL, you must precede forms statements with ## (as you do for EQUEL statements).

For information about the margin and the terminator, see your query language reference guide and host language companion guides.

Note: The statement syntaxes in this guide omit the exec frs or ## portions of the syntax; you must supply them according to the query language you are using. The examples use SQL conventions, except in EQUEL/FORMS Examples, where QUEL conventions are used.
