Re: Run SQL Scripts: Define variables whose values are prompted

I've not tried it in STRSQL, but in ACS Run SQL Scripts, when I tried
this, I had to qualify the files. Not sure why that happened when the
default schema was previously QGPL and I didn't need to qualify the files.
Still, I like this better because it means no other user could potentially
overwrite the variable I created via their own CREATE VARIABLE

So, it turns out you could do something like this in STRSQL:

CREATE SCHEMA @TEMP
SET SCHEMA @TEMP
CREATE VARIABLE whatever ...
SET SCHEMA someother
Do stuff ...
If you need to use the variable, you need to qualify it with the schema,
e.g.:
@temp.whatever ...
Then, when done, and you want it "gone" do this:
drop variable whatever
drop schema @temp
So, the create schema creates a *LIB, the drop schema deletes it. :-)

HTH,
