Embedded SQL result issues inside %ZLANGC routine

Hello Community,

I executed the below query in the %ZLANGC00.mac routine. It returns results when using dynamic SQL, but not with embedded SQL(returns 0). 

 &SQL(SELECT count(*) INTO :Cnt FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE'")
 Write "SQL Table count : "_Cnt,!
 Set tResultSet = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%ExecDirect(,"SELECT count(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE'")
 Do tResultSet.%Display()

Thanks!
