Syntax Description

Syntax Element Description
limit
Limit Option:

You can limit the number of rows to be read. You can specify the limit either as a numeric constant (0 - 4294967295) or as a variable of format N, P or I.

result-set
Result Set:

As result-set you specify a result-set locator variable filled by a preceding CALLDBPROC statement. Result-set has to be a variable of format/length I4.

Note:
If a syncpoint operation takes place between the CALLDBPROC statement and the READ RESULT SET statement, the result sets can no longer be accessed by the READ RESULT SET statement.

FROM ddm-name
DDM Name:

As ddm-name you specify the name of the DDM which is used to "address" the database executing the stored procedure.

For further information, see ddm-name.

WITH INSENSITIVE SCROLL [:] scroll_hv
WITH INSENSITIVE SCROLL Clause:

This clause belongs to the SQL Extended Set.

This clause is not currently supported. When used, it will cause a compiler error.

GIVING sqlcode
GIVING sqlcode Clause:

This clause may be used to obtain the SQL code of the SQL "fetch" operation used to process the result set.

If this clause is specified and the SQL code of the SQL operation is not 0, no Natural error message will be issued. In this case, the action to be taken in reaction to the SQL code value has to be coded in the invoking Natural object.

The sqlcode field has to be a variable of format/length I4.

If the GIVING sqlcode clause is omitted, a Natural error message will be issued if the SQL code is not 0.

END-RESULT
End of READ RESULT SET Statement:

The Natural reserved keyword END-RESULT must be used to end the READ RESULT SET statement.
