ALLBASE/SQL Reference Manual

Parameter Names 

Parameters are used to pass information between the database and a
procedure.  A parameter is identified in the parameter list of a CREATE
PROCEDURE statement, and it is prefixed with a colon (:)  when used in
the body of the procedure.  Parameter names must conform to ALLBASE/SQL's
rules for basic names.
