SQL does not work this way.
The Select is not like a rpgle "chain" and that record stays in memory, with record locked for the "update".
The update statement needs the same where clause to get the same record to update.
Based on the where clause, your update statement could update one or more records...

Subject: SQL Insert Into



I'm running into a small issue, and no clue how to fix it.



After a :



Insert Into WorkFile

Select *

From Orders

Where OrdNo = 100750



Then



Update WorkFile

Set Status = 'DELETE'



I know the insert found one record, but the update statement didn't found the record, it is probably stuck in the buffer, any idea how to force the write to the media ?



Thanks
