Acucorp provides a utility program called sql.acu. This program gives you access to some of the standard SQL commands. It can be called from a COBOL program or executed from the command line.
As a general rule, sql.acu may be used to issue all SQL commands except those that perform data retrieval. The sql.acu program can NOT perform statements that return data such as the SELECT statement. This category of statements will return an error when passed to the sql.acu program.
The global variable return-code will be 0 when a command has completed successfully. If a command is not successful, return-code will contain an error code.
