SQL$HELP72.HLB  —  Literals
    Literals, which are also called constants, specify a value.

    The following diagram shows the format of literals:

  (B)0literal =                       
                                  
  qqwq> numeric-literal qqqqwqqq> 
    tq> string-literal qqqqqu     
    tq> date-time-literal qqu     
    tq> interval-literal qqqu     
    mq> dbkey-literal qqqqqqj     

    Literals are a type of value expression . Many SQL clauses that
    do not accept general value expressions require literal values.
    Literal values can be either numeric, character string, or date.
    In addition, SQL provides keywords that refer to literals, for
    example:

    o  NULL

    o  CURRENT_DATE

    o  SYSTEM_USER
