SQL example 

You may want to store the ml_username value in a temporary table or variable if you will be referencing that value many times in subsequent scripts.

Call ml_add_connection_script ( 
  'version1', 
  'begin_synchronization', 
  'set @EmployeeID = ?' );

Java example 

The following stored procedure call registers a Java method called beginSynchronizationConnection as the script for the begin_synchronization connection event when synchronizing the script version ver1. This syntax is for Adaptive Server Anywhere consolidated databases.

call ml_add_java_connection_script( 'ver1',
  'begin_synchronization',
  'ExamplePackage.ExampleClass.beginSynchronizationConnection'
 )

Following is the sample Java method beginSynchronizationConnection. It saves the name of the synchronizing user for later use.

public String beginSynchronizationConnection(
  String user )
{  _curUser = user;
   return( null ); }

.NET example 

The following stored procedure call registers a .NET method called BeginSync as the script for the begin_synchronization connection event when synchronizing the script version ver1. This syntax is for Adaptive Server Anywhere consolidated databases.

call ml_add_dnet_connection_script( 'ver1',
  'begin_synchronization',
  'TestScripts.Test.BeginSync'
)

Following is the C# signature for the call BeginSync.

public void BeginSync( string user )
