Meta-SQL Use

Meta-SQL expands to platform-specific SQL substrings, causes another function to be called, or substitutes a value. Meta-SQL constructs are used in functions that pass SQL strings, such as the following:

• SQLExec.

• Scroll buffer functions (ScrollSelect and its relatives).

• Application Designer dynamic views and SQL views.

• Some Rowset class methods (Select, SelectNew, Fill, and so on.).

• The SQL class.

• Application Engine programs.

• Some Record class methods (Insert, Update, and so on.).

• COBOL functions.
