INCLUDE Statement
The embedded SQL INCLUDE statement allows external files to be included in your source code. The syntax of the INCLUDE statement is:
EXEC SQL INCLUDE filename
This statement is commonly used to include an external file containing variable declarations.
For example, assuming you have a file called, myvars.dec, that contains a group of variable declarations, use the INCLUDE statement in the following manner:
exec sql begin declare section;
exec sql include 'myvars.dec';
exec sql end declare section;
This is the functional equivalent of listing all the declarations in the myvars.dec file in the declaration section itself.
