Included with VA PL/I are ODBC include files that make it easier for you to access data bases with ODBC drivers using ODBC calls from your PL/I programs. This section describes the supplied ODBC include files, how ODBC API argument types map to PL/I data descriptions, and additional PL/I functions and considerations applicable to ODBC APIs.
For details on the ODBC APIs, see the online help.
For specific information related to an ODBC driver, such as the ODBC level or extensions supported by that driver, please refer to the specifications available with that driver.
The following illustrate how to access ODBC from PL/I programs:
When you link your ODBC applications, you must include the import library ODBC32.LIB, which is included in the ODBC SDK (from Microsoft).
