ODBC access to DB2 V4.1 requires installation of Client Application Enabler (CAE), a free IBM software product that includes an ODBC driver. For instructions on installing CAE, refer to the DBA Web Site at http://www.dba.norwest.com. [N.B. - This site is accessible only within the Norwest Intranet.]

Assuming that CAE is installed, the SQL CALL statement is invoked through the SQLExecute function:

• Allocate a statement handle for the SQL CALL statement.
  
  
• Use the SQLPrepare function to dynamically prepare the SQL CALL statement.
  
  
• Use the SQLBindParameter function to bind each of the parameters used by the stored procedure.
  
  
• Use the SQLExecute function to execute the prepared SQL CALL statement.

For further information, see the IBM "red book" publication SG24-4693-00, Getting Started with DB2 Stored Procedures. The red book includes detailed instructions and sample Visual Basic programs.
