The local variable conversion finds SQL statements that are found in the application source code on one command line and also contain at least one "local variable" which will be replaced by the application before the SQL statement is sent to the server. The SQL Scanner precedes the variable name with "&" and removes the concatenate character and the quotes surrounding the SQL text.
"SELECT " + VEMPID + " FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMP_ID > 100"
SELECT &VEMPID
FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE EMP_ID > 100
Note: Each local variable in a scanned SQL statement may be replaced with a value or leave the variable in the SQL statement. The SQL Scanner uses "&" to differentiate the local variables from the host variables. The &variablename is not valid syntax for a SQL statement but the program will recognize this format and prompt you to input a value for the variable when needed to execute the SQL statement.
