sql_executenice 
Use his command to transfer an SQL statement to the database.
Unlike the sql_execute command, in the reply to this command one data record after another is displayed.
When you execute this command, it implicitly opens a session with the database and ends the session as soon as the command has been executed. This database session is opened in AUTOCOMMIT mode, in other words, each SQL statement you execute is automatically completed with a COMMIT statement.
After you have executed the SQL statement, the system returns an OK message or displays the first data record of the reply. To display all the other data records one by one, use the sql_fetchnice DBM command.
For more information about SQL statements, see the SQL Reference Manual and SQL Tutorial.
