Re: CL question

Does the PREPARE statement in SQL allow the use of the ? substitution parameter 
for field names?

Subject:        CL question

I have the need to scan all files in a set of libraries, and delete all the
records where the condition:    CONOxx='BX'   is met.  
Looked easy at first, a couple of dspobjd's and an embedded sql statement.
Snag is the xx part - although this is usually part of the filename, there
are exceptions.  As far as i can tell, SQL won't let me use a wildcard in
the field name. The only place where this number is always held correctly is
the 4th and 5th digits of the file format. 

Any suggestions as to how i can retrieve this information?  The only way i
can think of doing it is to DMPSYSOBJ for each object, but as i am only a
novice when it comes to programming i don't know how to program this.

TIA,
Stuart
