EXEC SQL - EXIT FROM SQL
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Obsolete Syntax
EXIT FROM SQL.
Effect
This statement, forbidden in classes, is only executed during processing of subroutines called using
the obsolete addition PERFORMING
of the statement EXEC SQL. Otherwise it is ignored.
The statement terminates implicit cursor processing
after the current subroutine has finished. Processing of the called ABAP program is resumed after
ENDEXEC, where sy-dbcnt contains the number of rows read up until
that point and sy-subrc is set to the value 4. If an overflow occurs because the number or rows is greater than 2,147,483,647, sy-dbcnt is set to -1.
