Result Set Schemas
Every result set object (input and output) has a schema associated with it. The schema describes the number, data type, name and extent of the columns.
This schema information is available to the Open Client application. For the Java client, it is available through the
getMetaData()
method of theResultSet
object. For ActiveX clients, it is exposed through the methods of theProField
object. This information can be useful to the client if it wants to write generic routines to handle TEMP-TABLE data, without hard coding specifics about the number of fields, their names and their types.For more information on accessing result set schemas, see the information on passing TEMP-TABLE parameters for your type of Open Client:
