Re: Update information on SQL



I'm suggesting that you start journaling against that physical file. Then you can query the journal for changes - I don't remember if it will inform you of the RRN, but it probably does.

Is this for a test scenario? I can't think of a business reason to be concerned about this, so I just wonder.

Another way, if for test only, could be to have an extra column with a flag for updated - put a "U", say, in that column in your UPDATE statement. Clear it once you are done checking.

Or have a "date changed" column or "timestamp changed" column. Do whatever you need in order to check for update, such as changedate = max(changedate) from a table expression.

Hi there,
I've an SQLSRC statement embedded in RUNSQLSTM. My spool file tells me how many rows have been updated.
But, does anyone know how to find the updated rows information without actually going back to the database file to query the records updated.
UPDATE Afile A
SET A.Netamt = (SELECT replace(B.net_amount , ',' , '')
FROM Bfile B
WHERE A.date1 = B.date1), A.source ='1'
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT B.net_amount
FROM Bfile B
WHERE A.date1 = B.date1)
This updates me 120 rows, I would like to see which rows it updates Netamt & source to 1 after running SQL.
I could SQL
Select A.Netamt, A.source from Afile A, Bfile B
where A.date1 =B.date1
Thank you!
p.s: can anyone recommend best SQL/400 book, sorry if this question does nt relate to this forum.
