SQL$HELP72.HLB  —  PREPARE  Arguments  SELECT_LIST_INTO
    Specifies that SQL writes information about the number and data
    type of select list items in the statement string to the SQLDA.
    The SELECT LIST keywords clarify the effect of the INTO clause
    and are optional.

    Using the SELECT LIST clause in a PREPARE statement is an
    alternative to issuing a separate DESCRIBE . . . INPUT statement.
    See the DESCRIBE statement for more information.

    The SELECT LIST clause in a PREPARE statement is deprecated
    syntax. For more information about deprecated syntax, see the
    Oracle Rdb SQL Reference Manual.

                                   NOTE

       The PREPARE statement LIST keyword is not related to the
       LIST data type or list cursors.
