set variable = expression
|
Assigns a value to a variable. The value can be either a literal value (for example, 10 or "text") or another variable. Parameters are considered as normal variables.
|
variable := expression
|
Alternate syntax for assigning values to variables.
|
boolean_expr
|
A boolean expression which evaluates to "true" or "false". The expression can include comparison operators, such as =, >, and <) and logical operators and, or, and not.
|
statement_list
|
A valid procedure statement that executes as a result of a boolean expression.
|
while
boolean_expr loop statement_list end loop |
This loops while the expression is true. For examples of valid parentheses use in WHILE loops, see Using control statements.
|
leave
|
Leaves the innermost while loop and continues executing the procedure from the next statement after the keyword end loop.
|
if
boolean_expr then statement_list1 else statement_list2 end if |
Executes statement_list1 if boolean_expr is true; otherwise, executes statement_list2. For examples of valid parentheses use in IF statements, see Using control statements.
|
if"
boolean_exprl then statement_listl elseif boolean_expr2 then statement_list2 end if |
If boolean_expr1 is true, executes statement_list1. If boolean_expr2 is true, executes statement_list2. The statement can optionally contain multiple elseif statements and also an else statement. For examples of valid parentheses use in IF statement, see Using control statements.
|
return
|
Returns the current values of output parameters and exits the procedure. If a procedure has a return row statement, return behaves like return norow.
|
return sqlerror of cursor_name
|
Returns the sqlerror associated with the cursor and exits the procedure.
|
return row
|
Returns the current values of output parameters and continues execution of the procedure. Return row does not exit the procedure and return control to the caller.
|
return norow
|
