SQL$HELP72.HLB  —  DESCRIBE  Arguments  INTO descriptor name
    Specifies the name of a structure declared in the host language
    program as an SQLDA to which SQL writes information about select
    list items, or input or output parameter markers.

    Precompiled programs can use the embedded SQL statement INCLUDE
    SQLDA to automatically insert a declaration of an SQLDA
    structure, called SQLDA, in the program when it precompiles
    the program. Programs that use the SQL module language must
    explicitly declare an SQLDA. Either precompiled or SQL module
    language programs can explicitly declare additional SQLDAs but
    must declare them with unique names. For sample declarations of
    SQLDA structures, see the Oracle Rdb SQL Reference Manual.
