The OUTPUT Keyword

The OUTPUT keyword specifies that only information about output parameters of the prepared statement are stored in the sqlda descriptor area. If you omit this keyword, DESCRIBE can return input parameters, but only for INSERT statements (and for UPDATE, if the IFX_UPDDESC environment variable is set in the environment where the database server is initialized).
