Statements

Overview of Statements

This chapter provides brief descriptions of each 4GL statement that you can use in OpenROAD. The underlining in the syntax descriptions indicate that the syntax component can be a dynamic name. For a full discussion of the syntax conventions, see Syntax in the Language Reference Guide.

For a detailed description of each 4GL statement, see Statements in the Language Reference Guide. For a description of commonly used elements in statements, see Commonly Used Elements in Statements in the Language Reference Guide.

OpenROAD statements are grouped into the following sections:

Type of statements	Description	For more information
Language	Assignment, flow of control, calls—to provide the business logic of the application	OpenROAD Language Statements
SQL database manipulation	Database access statements and the 4GL parameter extensions you can use with them	OpenROAD SQL Statements
EXEC 4GL	For use in an Embedded SQL for C (ESQL/C) program to pass objects and arrays between 3GL and 4GL routines	Exec 4GL Statements for 3GL

Note: All 4GL and 3GL statements are terminated with a semicolon (;).
