Is there a reason why one could not use CREATE TABLE AS... and use that table instead of the array?

* Subject: SQL select into [array]?

I am looking for an elegant way to code an embedded SQL statement that
selects into, where the host target is an array.

As in:

Select Field1, Field2, Field3
into :MyArray(1), :MyArray(2), :MyArray(3)
From *libl/MyTable

Where Key1 = :MyKey;



... or even

Fetch from MyCursor
into :MyArray(1), :MyArray(2), :MyArray(3);



Apparently SQL syntax does not know about using "(1)", "(2)", and "(3)"
to designate the target array elements. Is there a way to code that to
be acceptable to SQL and to the V5R4 pre-compiler?



I'm hoping not to have to dump the results into a data structure,
because I ultimately need to reference the results by an index, and it
would be great to get them to load directly into the array if possible.



If only I knew the trick...



Thanks
