When the DESCRIBE INPUT statement is executed, the database manager assigns values to the variables of the SQLDA as follows:
The seventh byte is set based on the parameter markers described:
The seventh byte is set to the space character if there is not enough room in the SQLDA to contain the description of all input parameter markers.
The eighth byte is set to the space character.
If the value of SQLD is n, where n is greater than 0 but less than or equal to the value of SQLN, values are assigned to the first n occurrences of SQLVAR so that the first occurrence of SQLVAR contains a description of the first input parameter marker, the second occurrence of SQLVAR contains a description of the second input parameter marker, and so on. For information on the values assigned to SQLVAR occurrences, see Field descriptions in an occurrence of SQLVAR.
