DB2 SQL TYPE ROWSET FOR n ROWS

To facilitate the declaration of host-variables necessary for multirow access in DB2, I suggest the creation of a new SQL type dedicated to the creation (generation) of structures with OCCURS on elementary variables.

SQL TYPE IS ROWSET FOR n ROWS

- this SQL type can only be declared on a structure containing only elementary variables
- at the (pre) compilation, an "OCCURS n" clause is added on each elementary variable of the structure.
