  <para>
   Use <function>db2_fetch_row</function> to iterate through a result set, or
   to point to a specific row in a result set if you requested a scrollable
   cursor.
  </para>
  <para>
   To retrieve individual fields from the result set, call the
   <function>db2_result</function> function.
  </para>
  <para>
   Rather than calling <function>db2_fetch_row</function> and
   <function>db2_result</function>, most applications will call one of
   <function>db2_fetch_assoc</function>, <function>db2_fetch_both</function>,
   or <function>db2_fetch_array</function> to advance the result set pointer
   and return a complete row as an array.

     The following example demonstrates how to iterate through a result set
     with <function>db2_fetch_row</function> and retrieve columns from the
     result set with <function>db2_result</function>.

    <title>i5/OS recommended alternatives to db2_fetch_row/db2_result</title>
    <para>
     On i5/OS it is recommended that you use <function>db2_fetch_both</function>, 
     <function>db2_fetch_array</function>, or <function>db2_fetch_object</function> 
     over <function>db2_fetch_row</function>/<function>db2_result</function>. In general 
     <function>db2_fetch_row</function>/<function>db2_result</function> have more issues 
     with various column types in <literal>EBCIDIC</literal> to <literal>ASCII</literal> 
     translation, including possible truncation in <literal>DBCS</literal> applications. 
     You may also find the performance of <function>db2_fetch_both</function>, 
     <function>db2_fetch_array</function>, and <function>db2_fetch_object</function> to 
     be superior to <function>db2_fetch_row</function>/<function>db2_result</function>.
