Vern, thanks, that worked. I also found SET VARIABLE = (Select...) worked.

Thank you. Darryl.

Hi Darryl


I recommend using VALUES INTO - such as this, assuming testvalue is
created - used this -


create variable testvalue char(10);


The SELECT statement has to return a single row


values (select min(state) from qiws/qcustcdt) into testvalue;


That worked - what SQLCOD or SQLSTATE are you getting? Or what SQLxxxx
message is in your job log?


Cheers
Vern

I am writing a SQL script that retrieves an order number from the order
header file filtered by BOL. The next statement uses the order number to
retrieve data from another file.

I have
- used CREATE VARIABLE
- Select Order into VARIABLE from table

The select fails and will not populate the VARIABLE field.

How do I achieve this?

TIA, Darryl Freinkel.
