Re: What would be your SQL solution? -- RPG400-L


No data after the insert statement for newfile in debug mode.  Is there
anything that I could be missing.  I entered everything except for the (H)
specs.  Can you explain what the (H) specs mean?  Are the only fields I
need to change 'RESA' and 'IO_BNDDIR' , 'RLIRESAOBJ' or can I just copy the
entire H spec and leave it as is?

Thanks,

Frank

c/exec sql
c+ insert into newfile  (select
c+       field1, field2 .....
c+                 from file where date in (:date1 , :date2) )
C/END-EXEC

i made a little try form a 4.500.000 records file, it take about 2 minutes
to extract 500.000 records based on a in statement without index built on
it.
hope this help.
