RE: PREPARE SEL FROM -206 error

I think the problem is the double quotes.  I may be wrong, but I'm pretty
sure that SQL prefers single quotes.  So when you need a literal (the letter
'R'), you need to enclose it in single quotes.  But since you are in a
quoted string, you need DOUBLE single quotes ('') which are different from
double quotes (").  This:


D                                     WHERE SUBSTR(FIL44,43,1)="R" -


Changes to:


D                                     WHERE SUBSTR(FIL44,43,1)=''R'' -

I thought this would work, as there is no syntax error using double quotes

D SelectOne       S            500A   INZ('SELECT ITNBR, ITDSC,  -
D                                     ITTYP -
D                                     FROM AMFLIB/ITEMASA  -
D                                     WHERE SUBSTR(FIL44,43,1)="R" -
D                                     ORDER BY')
