Re: SQL Cursor Row Locate or DELETE

ais400com               [SkillTap request for community "everyone"]: What 
is the SQL statement to locate a row based on a value?  For example my 
SELECT returns a result set of 1000 rows ORDERED by Item# into a cursor. I 
want to locate the row in my cursor that is Item# ?X1234?.   How do I 
delete a cursor row?
robberendt              If you are using embedded SQL, you should be able 
to do something like delete from myfile where current of cursorname.  Have 
you used cursors?
robberendt              I can show you some sample code with cursors, if 
need be.
ais400com               I have used cursors but never needed to delete a 
row.  Now just to be clear, I want to delete the row form the cursor, not 
the phisical file used in my select statement. 
robberendt              Then DELETE FROM MYFILE WHERE CURRENT OF 
CURSORNAME should work.
robberendt              Or delete from myfile where (your select statement 
here) should also work
robberendt              From the manual:
robberendt              Positioned DELETE: 

>>-DELETE FROM--+-table-name-+--+--------------------+---------->
                '-view-name--'  '-correlation-clause-'
 
>--WHERE CURRENT OF--cursor-name-------------------------------><

ais400com               Thank you, that will solve one of my problems. Any 
idea how to locate what row holds value 'XABC'?
robberendt              Assuming that the value 'XABC' is in a field 
called myfield:  delete from myfile where myfield='XABC',   to test this: 
select * from myfile where myfield='XABC'

What is the SQL statement to locate a row based on a value?  For example 
my SELECT returns a result set of 1000 rows ORDERED by Item# into a 
cursor.   I want to locate the row in my cursor that is Item# 'X1234'. 
Second question; How do I delete a Cursor Row?
