RE: SQL Mystery?

Brad,

This sounds like a bug to me.  If you run this in debug does it build a 
temporary 
work file when you make a selection?  That would make some sense.  From your 
messages, I gather you want the RRN to be the ordinal position within the group 
of 
selected records.  You can use a user defined function to do this.  

If this sounds like something you might want to do, the April 2000 Midrange 
Computing 
describes a sequence UDF.  The article is online at:

No, I'm not really looking to order by RRN.
 
Let me see, how can I word this.
 
If I use STRSQL and run the statement:
Select RRN(a), a.* from CSTMSTPF where CSZIP <> '58201' order by CSZIP
 
I get the _real_ RRN in the results.
 
If I use dynamic SQL in an RPG program (CGI program actually) and use a
cursor, the RRN returned is not the real RRN of the PF, but the RRN of the
subset of records.  So the first record has an RRN of 1, the second, 2,
etc.. etc..
 
Could it be because I am PREPAREing and DELCLAREing a cursor (as dynamic
scroll)?  Not sure.  I'd be interested to know for sure. :)  
 
Help any more?
 
Brad
