This statement runs fine in STRSQL:

SELECT 'Foo' as First, 'Bar' as Middle, 'ForMe' as Last from
sysibm/sysdummy1

I believe it will solve your issue.

Subject: SELECT with no FROM?

I am trying to do what I thought would be simple... MS SQL allows
selection of hardcoded data in a "SELECT" statement without a from:
SELECT 'Foo" as First, 'Bar' as Middle, 'ForMe' as Last

You can thereby force a record to be returned with any result set:

SELECT First, Middle, Last FROM employees UNION SELECT 'Foo" as First,
'Bar' as Middle, 'ForMe' as Last

On MS SQL there is also a TABLE datatype...therefore a TABLE variable
can be used.

DECLARE @TempTable TABLE (First VARCHAR(50), Middle VARCHAR(50), Last
VARCHAR(50))

INSERT INTO @TempTable VALUES('Foo', 'Bar', 'ForMe')

SELECT First, Middle, Last FROM employees UNION SELECT First, Middle,
Last FROM @TempTable

Is there a simple way to do something similar on the 400?

I've spent an hour going through SQL reference, Stored Procedure
reference, and SQL concepts redbooks but I haven't found anything for
this.

Thanks in advance!

RH
