command [(WITH|WITHOUT) RETURN];Command statement
A command statement executes a DML command, DDL command, or dynamic SQL against one or more data sources. For more information, see DML commands and DDL commands.
Usage
Example command statements
SELECT * FROM MySchema.MyTable WHERE ColA > 100 WITHOUT RETURN;
INSERT INTO MySchema.MyTable (ColA,ColB) VALUES (50, 'hi');Syntax rules
-
EXECUTE command statements may access IN/OUT, OUT, and RETURN parameters. To access the return value the statement will have the form
var = EXEC proc…. To access OUT or IN/OUT values named parameter syntax must be used. For example,EXEC proc(in_param⇒'1', out_param⇒var)will assign the value of the out parameter to the variable var. It is expected that the datatype of a parameter is implicitly convertible to the data type of the variable. For more information about EXECUTE command statements, see EXECUTE command. -
The RETURN clause determines if the result of the command is returnable from the procedure. WITH RETURN is the default. If the command does not return a result set, or the procedure does not return a result set, the RETURN clause is ignored. If WITH RETURN is specified, the result set of the command must match the expected result set of the procedure. Only the last successfully executed statement executed WITH RETURN will be returned as the procedure result set. If there are no returnable result sets and the procedure declares that a result set will be returned, then an empty result set is returned.
