Add Prepared Statement

Add a Prepared Statement object to your OTD.

To Add Prepared Statements

Note - When using a Prepared Statement, the ResultsAvailable() method will always return true. Although this method is available, you should not use it with a while loop. Doing so would result in an infinite loop at runtime and will stop all of the system’s CPU. If it is used, it should only be used with the if statement.

1. On the Add Prepared Statements window, click Add.
   
2. Enter the name of a Prepared Statement or create a SQL statement by clicking in the SQL Statement window. When finished creating the statement, click Save As giving the statement a name. This name will appear as a node in the OTD. Click OK. See the following figure.
   
3. On the Add Prepared Statement window, the name you assigned to the Prepared Statement appears. To edit the parameters, click Edit Parameters. You can change the datatype by clicking in the Type field and selecting a different type from the list.
