  • Subject: Embedded SQL
  • From: Cyndi Bradberry <CyndiB@xxxxxxxx>

I am an SQL newbie, we have only had SQL for 9 days now.  I am trying to
read the manuals, but they are not answering a question.

We have been asked to total up transaction records, (different trans types,
4 different amounts on each record). They want the total of each column, by
each trans type and then the foot of all the columns, with all the totals
printed on a report.

I have figured out how to do this with the STRSQL command, (one column and
one trans type at a time) but not how to do it with SQLRPGLE.  Here is my
program, but the SQL precompiler said that I needed a SELECT INTO statement.
How do I get the Sum(field name) into a field for doing further calculations
(Total) ?

     FQPRINT    O    F   80        Printer OFLIND(*INOF)

     D Total           S             15S 2 Inz(0)
      *--------------------------------------------------------------------
     C/Exec Sql
     C+   select Sum(T2ANVA)                               Amount
     C+ From NEWHUD/TNTRTH
     C+ Where T2HSDT >= 1000701 and T2BICD = '01'          Date & Trans Type
     C/End-Exec
     C                   Except    #detail
     C                   Eval      *INLR = *On
     OQprint    E            #Detail
     O                       Total         4     35 

Do I make any sense ?  I don't want to do this with plain RPGIV or WRKQRY, I
really want to use this new functionality.  Can someone please give me a
clue ? I have three SQL manuals from IBM, and the SQL tutorial from
News/400.  

TIA,
Cyndi B.
