After beating my head against this issue, I've searched the archives and the Internet with no luck. I am attempting to fetch a record in embedded SQL and this record includes a 7-element array. I'm fetching from a program-described file (QS36F).

I've oversimplified the code below - I just need to get the basic concept.


d SchRecord ds
d c@ 1 5 0
d typi 6 6 0
d fschi 7 7 0
d cyci 8 8 0
d arrRT 3 0 dim(7)

sqlstmt = 'select +
substr(K00001,1,5) as c@, +
substr(K00001,6,1) as typi, +
substr(K00001,7,1) as fschi, +
substr(K00001,8,1) as cyci, +
substr(F00001,1,21) as arrRT +
from qs36f/"DS.SCH"

exec sql
prepare P1 from :sqlstmt;

exec sql
declare C1 cursor for P1;

exec sql
open C1;


dou sqlstt <> '00000';

exec sql
fetch C1 into :SchRecord;

if sqlstt <> '00000';
leave;
endif;

Etc.



The other fields read in properly but "arrRT" reads in as a single 3-digit field instead of an array of seven 3-digit elements. I defined it as an array in the DS - why does SQL ignore that?

I have to do this as dynamic because of the "where" and "order by" clauses that are needed.

Any thoughts are appreciated. I'm starting to feel like Danny Noonan in Caddyshack ("right in the lumber yard").
