I've searched the list archives and Google but can't get the right terms
to find a discussion of this. I haven't read all of the relevant Redbooks
yet, so I apologize if this is an RTFM question, but it would be really
handy to get this particular query going soon. I'm using RPG, but I think
this applies to COBOL and SQL CLI as well.

There was a related thread on the RPG400 list a day or two ago about how
to view the most recent SQL statement. Charles Wilt suggested using the
'Display last SQL statement' option from iSeries Navigator for the job,
but this just tells me that the job ran "OPEN {cursorName}". Doh!

This is my code so far:

list = '(''A'',''B'')';

exec sql DECLARE test CURSOR FOR
select field1, field2, field3
from testtbl
where field1 IN :list
FOR READ ONLY;

and testtbl contains
Field1 Field2 Field3
A 1 1
B 2 2
A 2 2
C 3 3


When I FETCH from the 'test' cursor, I get SQLSTATE = 02000, no rows
returned. However if I run the query from iSeries Navigator, I get the
result I'd expect:

Field1 Field2 Field3
A 1 1
B 2 2
A 2 2

I expect that the SQL engine is seeing one comparison value of "('A','B')"
instead of two, "A" and "B". Do I need to use dynamic SQL (that is
PREPARE) here, or do I just need to mess with the syntax some more?
