Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the integrated SQL preprocessor who *
  *                 have DECLARE statements that have %NOPRINT   *
  *                 or other directives between the DECLARE and  *
  *                 its closing semicolon.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The SQL preprocessor will flag any      *
  *                      DECLARE containing %NOPRINT, %PAGE, etc *
  *                      with an E-level message saying that its *
  *                      syntax is incorrect.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The SQL preprocessor will now tolerate these directives inside
  DECLARE statements, but elsewhere in the code they should be
  used at statement boundaries or the SQL preprocessor might
  not correctly recognize the program's block scoping.
