Qualified Host Variables 

Host variables can be qualified using DB2 compatible syntax.

Example 

Suppose you have defined some host variables as follows:

     01  block-1.
         03  hostvar pic s9(4) comp-5.
     01  block-2.
         03  hostvar pic s9(4) comp-5.

You can qualify which instance of hostvar to use with syntax of the form:

     exec sql fetch s2 into :block-1.hostvar
     end-exec
