ESQLC --- Function Parameters as Host Variables

[N.V.Dev]

Hi,


Would like to know if I could define function parameters as Host
variables; This can be defined in Informix as below

int
print_table_inf o ( table_name )
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
PARAMETER char *table_name;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

......

Tried incorporting the above syntax in DB2 but in vain. Compiler error
is pasted below

"db2_schema.sqc ", line 384.3: 1506-276 (S) Syntax error: possible
missing '{'?


Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Dev
