DynamicStagingArea object

DynamicStagingArea is a PowerBuilder system object that stores information for use in dynamic SQL statements.

The DynamicStagingArea object is the only connection between the execution of a statement and a Transaction object and is used internally by PowerBuilder. You cannot access information in DynamicStagingArea, and there are no properties associated with DynamicStagingArea.

PowerBuilder provides a global DynamicStagingArea variable named SQLSA that you can use when you need a DynamicStagingArea variable. If necessary, you can declare and create additional variables of this type using this system object as the datatype.

For more information about using dynamic SQL, see the section called “Using dynamic SQL” in PowerScript Reference.
