host variable declaration in cobol

[Sasquatch69]

Hi,

i execute a SQL query in Cobol. I have 450 host variables to declare. My problem is, when i execute my query, i have some null field and then the query return me error( sqlcode -305).

i know i can use a indicator to verify if my field is null, but i don't want to declare 450 indicator and verify each field.

Anyone have a solution???
thanks

Christian

ps: sorry for my bad english.

Can't you just properly initialize the fields?
