Re: SQL multiple selects

Traditionally this is done using only 1 sql statement.  Again using 
between.
D @SQLByCat       C     'Select * from dmitmmst +
D                        Where (WHSLC between +
D                        ? and ?) and +
D                        (CATCD1 between ? and ?) +
D                        Order By SAQYR desc'
If you want only 1 value for CATCD1 then you use that for both parameters. 
 If you want all, then use *loval and *hival.
Now, I am assuming you are using quotes around the substitution parameter 
for CATCD1 because it is a character.  Like:
CREATE TABLE QTEMP/DMITMMST
 (WHSLC NUMERIC ( 2, 0) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT,
 CATCD1 CHAR ( 1) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT,
 SAQYR NUMERIC (4 ,0) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT)  
INSERT INTO QTEMP/DMITMMST VALUES(1, '1', 1994)
INSERT INTO QTEMP/DMITMMST VALUES(2, '2', 2001)
The quotes are not necessary.  This is actual working code:
     H ActGrp(*CALLER)
     H DftActGrp(*NO)

     D OpenCursor      PR              n
     D FetchCursor     PR              n
     D CloseCursor     PR              n

     D @SQLByCat       S          32000a   inz(

     D                                      (WHSLC between ? and ?) and +
     D                                      (CATCD1 between ? and ?) +

If I change this
     D catcd1a         s                   like(catcd1) inz(*loval)
     D catcd1b         s                   like(catcd1) inz(*hival)
to this:
     D catcd1a         s                   like(catcd1) inz('1')
     D catcd1b         s                   like(catcd1) inz('1')
It works just fine.
