|                           |                                                              |

| host language comments    | ALLBASE/SQL allows host language comments within an SQL      |
|                           | statement.  The standard allows only SQL comments.           |
|                           |                                                              |

| $SQL COPY compiler        | ALLBASE/SQL supports the COBOL COPY statement.  Refer to the |
| directive                 | ALLBASE/SQL COBOL Application Programming Guide for usage    |
|                           | details.                                                     |
|                           |                                                              |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|                           |                                                              |
| SQLCODE in FORTRAN        | The standard requires a variable declaration for SQLCOD, and |
|                           | ALLBASE/SQL supports the standard.                           |
|                           |                                                              |

| SQLIND                    | This host variable type is not standards compliant.  The     |
|                           | standard requires that an indicator variable be declared as  |
|                           | any exact numeric data type of scale zero, and ALLBASE/SQL   |
|                           | supports the standard with the exception of BULK processing. |
|                           |                                                              |
