I didn't design a PERFORM statement. There is two views - somebody
from sybase's family know so SELECT without into is forwarded to
client. This functionality is missing on Oracle's family. Is true so
PERFORM statement is strange,  but maybe it's open door for sybase's
functionality that was not implemented ever.
