You can use a compound statement:

    o  In interactive SQL, as a way to test syntax and prototype
       compound statements for use with programs.

    o  In embedded SQL, as part of a host language program to be
       processed with the SQL precompiler.

    o  In SQL module language, as part of a multistatement procedure
       in an SQL module file to be processed with the SQL module
       processor.

    o  In dynamic SQL, to prepare and execute compound statements.
