Re: Implicitly hidden column & EXTNAME D/S

Hi Barbara

I believe that the compile listing shows the SQL* variables  - ah, they are in D-specs - apologies, mea culpa.

Am I missing something, though, with SELECT *? If a column is added, and the program is not recompiled, the program will still run, and the new column is not available to the program - no level check?

Thanks
Vern

An interesting thought, Justin - the evidence of the I-specs that the pre-compiler adds suggests you are right.

Now that also suggests to me that, if one uses SELECT *, then, if columns are added, they will not be seen - no I-spec for the new columns.


What I-specs do you mean, Vern?
