Too many host variables have been specified on SELECT INTO or FETCH.

Attack of the ds strikes again!

Change this
select ITMNBR, ITMDESCR into :myDS

You have two choices to change it to.
Option 1
select * into :myDS

Option 2
select ITMNBR, ITMDESCR into :itmnbr, :itmdescr

Now, you explain to me which one you select, and why.

Actually, in very early versions of i5/os.  No, before that, os/400, you 
could get away with what you are doing.  IBM locked that down.  But most 
people "used" to do it as option 1.  And that generally worked.  UNLESS 
you added more fields to the file and did not recompile your program. Then 
it still worked, until IBM "enhanced" os/400 and came up with the error 
you are getting.
