The SQLEXEC() function is used to send an SQL statement to the specified data source.

The SQLEXEC() function operates on the data source specified by <nStatementHandle>.

Keywords	Description
nStatementHandle	The workarea in which the gateway data source is open.
cSQLCommand	The SQL statement to be passed to the data source. The cSQLCommand can be omitted if the SQL statement has already been set up using SQLPREPARE().

-1	Connection error
