Re: Fields Used in SQL Statements

From: Vernon Hamberg

You are not alone. I've long wished that host variables would be part
of the outline. And file references in SQL statements - they CAN be
parsed, after all, otherwise they could never be run by the system.
So it is not impossible, just not in scope, it seems.

This I agree with. It's possible, but we have to ask for it, because it
requires a little more effort.

One area where it'd be more complicated - again, not impossible, in
my view - is when a statement is held in a character variable and
then prepared. There can be more than one string used in the same
PREPARE, too. But, again, not impossible to deal with.

I don't think this is possible. The string could be modified at any point
in the program, which would change the references. In fact, don't you
typically build those strings dynamically? It's been a while since I used
one.
