You can use dynamic and static EXEC SQL statements in PL/I applications. Before you can take advantage of EXEC SQL support, you must have installed IBM DB2 Universal Database (herinafter referred to as DB2) for Windows.
Workstation PL/I products support most of the function in DB2 and increased function will be added in each successive release. If you specify newer DB2 functions while using a downlevel DB2 product, warning messages are generated and those newer options are ignored.
