Specifies the name of a prepared statement. If the PREPARE statement for the dynamically executed statement specifies a parameter, use the same parameter in the DESCRIBE statement instead of an explicit statement name. You can supply either a parameter or a compile-time statement name. Specifying a parameter lets SQL supply identifiers to programs at run time. Use an integer parameter to contain the statement identifier returned by SQL or a character string parameter to contain the name of the statement that you pass to SQL. See the PREPARE statement and the DECLARE Dynamic_CURSOR statement for more details.
