The EXEC SQL Statement 

Between the EXEC SQL and END-EXEC statements you can only code SQL
statements.  You must not include any COBOL statements.  (EXEC SQL and
END-EXEC are COBOL statements.)  For a description of SQL statement
syntax, see the manuals included with your database system.

The following are extensions to the SQL syntax defined there.  These
extensions provide increased compatibility with embedded DB2 as used in
IBM VS COBOL II programs and with ANSI standard SQL.
