The ESL action routines generated by DB/Assist call commands in the ESL DB2 dynamic link library (EDB2.DLL). When included in an ESL Application source code, these functions give the resulting ESL program static SQL access to all IBM DB2 databases.

Examples of Generated ESL Code describes the ESL action routines that DB/Assist generates. It also includes sample code generated for a multi-row SELECT, statement, a searched UPDATE statement, and the default error handling routine named EDB2WheneverError.
