Specifies the name of a prepared statement. 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. If the PREPARE statement for the dynamically executed statement specifies the same parameter, use that parameter in the EXECUTE statement instead of an explicit statement name. If an SQLCA is used to capture completion conditions and row count information, an SQLCA must be used with the PREPARE statement. See the PREPARE statement for more information.
