Usage

This method binds a namespace URI to a prefix, and forces the output of the XML namespace definition to the StaxWriter stream.

The stream must point to a START_ELEMENT, and the prefix scope is the current START_ELEMENT / END_ELEMENT pair.

In case of error, the method throws an exception and sets the status variable. Depending on the error, a human-readable description of the problem is available in the sqlca.sqlerrm register. See Error handling in GWS calls (status).
