Hi!
Is it possible to skip the indicator variables in embedded SQL ?
We are evaluating now, if we can replace the Oracle DBMS by SAP DB. It seems that our application programs are the main problem. They are fully written without indicator variables. And the SAP DB precompiler manual says, indicator variables are mandatory (which is for ANSI compliance).
The oracle precompiler has an UNSAFE_NULL option. This allows us to compile and run our earlier written programs without indicator variables. There is no error generated, if a null value is fetched into a host variable.
Is there a possibility to run the programs without indicator variables (in Oracle mode)? Re-programming and include indicator variables would not be an option.
Thanks, Alois.
