Chapter 4 Preprocessing in Static Conversion Mode The DYNAMIC preprocessor command line option provides a means of converting static SQL statements to dynamic statements with little or no change to existing source code. This is termed static conversion processing and provides the flexibility of running an application with either static processing or dynamic processing. In addition, an already dynamic application can be preprocessed without having to specify a DBEnvironment name in the command line. This functionality is available for C and Pascal applications. The following sections describe how to implement this feature and compare aspects of static and dynamic processing: * Static Conversion Mode Syntax Specification * Comparing Static and Dynamic Statements * Coding an Application that can be Either Static or Dynamic * Converting a Static Application to a Dynamic Application * Enhancing Performance Note that additional preprocessing information, including the syntax for full preprocessing mode and syntax checking mode, is presented in the ALLBASE/SQL application programming guides. Information and examples regarding static and dynamic processing are found there as well.
