Re: Use SQL to load an Array

Joe

This could be because, as far as I know, the precompiler does not try to resolve everything that the actual compiler does - so it does not know values for some things. Now I'm very open to correction in this area - heh!

PS - Is HEH a TLA for "hope everything helps"?

Although dim(%elem(arrds)) is valid syntax, the SQL compiler will not allow
you to use an array defined that way in an SQL statement (SQL5011). The
same goes for dim(someConstant) syntax.

Only by hardcoding DIM(50) was I able to get past the SQL precompiler. I
only needed to hardcode the DIM(50) on the definition for the array that is
used in my Fetch Into SQL statement. All other likeds declarations use the
dim(%elem(arrds)) syntax. All seems to be working as desired now.
