DECLARE Procedure is a nonexecutable command. It is analogous to declaring a variable.
To declare a local procedure, open the script in the Script view and select Paste SQL from the PainterBar or the Edit>Paste Special menu. To declare a global, instance, or shared procedure, select Declare from the first drop-down list in the Script view and Global Variables, Instance Variables, or Shared Variables from the second drop-down list, then select Paste SQL.
For information about global, instance, shared, and local scope, see “Where to declare variables”.
Example 1 This statement declares the Sybase ASE procedure Emp_proc for the database specified in the default transaction object. It references the Emp_name_var and Emp_sal_var variables, which must be set to appropriate values before you execute the EXECUTE Emp_proc command:
DECLARE Emp_proc procedure for GetName
@emp_name = :Emp_name_var,
@emp_salary = :Emp_sal_var ;
Example 2 This statement declares the ORACLE procedure Emp_proc for the database specified in the default transaction object. It references the Emp_name_var and Emp_sal_var variables, which must be set to appropriate values before you execute the EXECUTE Emp_proc command:
DECLARE Emp_proc procedure for GetName
(:Emp_name_var, :Emp_sal_var) ;
