Declares and opens a record stream. The undeclared START_STREAM
statement:
o Forms a record stream from one or more relations. The record
selection expression determines the records in the record
stream.
o Places a pointer for that stream just before the first record
in this stream.
You must then use the FETCH statement to advance the pointer one
record at a time through the stream and other RDML statements
(for example, MODIFY and ERASE) to manipulate each record.
