    If you list a field for which the value is null, and there is
    a MISSING_VALUE clause for that field, Oracle Rdb supplies the
    missing value. If there is no MISSING_VALUE clause, and nulls are
    allowed, then Oracle Rdb supplies zeros for numeric fields, blanks
    for text fields, and the OpenVMS base date and time (17-NOV-1858
    00:00:00.00) for date fields.

2.1  –  REQUEST_HANDLE

    A keyword followed by a host language variable. A request handle
    points to the location of a compiled Oracle Rdb request. If you
    do not supply a request handle explicitly, Oracle Rdb associates a
    default request handle with the compiled request. Your must use
    a request handle when you want to make an identical query to two
    different databases.

    In Callable RDO, use !VAL as a marker for host language
    variables.

    You can put parentheses around the host language variable name.

2.2  –  TRANSACTION_HANDLE

    A keyword followed by a host language variable. A transaction
    handle identifies each instance of a transaction. If you do not
    declare the transaction handle explicitly, Oracle Rdb attaches an
    internal identifier to the transaction.

    In Callable RDO, use !VAL as a marker for host language
    variables.

    You can put parentheses around the host language variable name.

    Normally, you do not need to use this argument. The ability to
    declare a transaction handle is provided for compatibility with
    other database products and future releases of Oracle Rdb.

3  –  on-error

  (B)0ON ERROR qwq> statement qwq> END_ERROR
            mqqqqqqqq<qqqqqj

    on-error

    The ON ERROR clause. This clause specifies the action to be taken
    if an Oracle Rdb error occurs during the GET operation. Request HELP
    for ON_ERROR for more information.

4  –  get-item

  (B)0get-item =

    qqqqqqwq> host-variable  = value-expr qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqwqqq>
          tq> host-variable  = statistical-expr qqqqqqqqqqu
          mq> record-descr   = context-var . * qqqqqqqqqqqj

    Includes an assignment statement specifying a host language
    variable and a database value. The value is assigned to the
    host language variable from the Oracle Rdb value expression or
    statistical expression.

4.1  –  host-variable

    A valid variable name declared in the host language program. Ask
    for HELP on Value_expr for more information.

4.2  –  statistical-expr

    A statistical expression. A statistical expression calculates
    values based on a value expression for every record in a record
    stream. Ask for HELP on Value_expr for more information.

4.3  –  value-expr

    A valid Oracle Rdb value expression. Ask for HELP on Value_expr for
    more information.
