Re: SQL Set Option

[R Bruce Hoffman <bruce.hoffman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you beginning the statement in Area A? It must be contained within 
Area B, from col 12 on. If the n is in column 24, then counting 
backwards, it looks like you started the EXEC in Area A.

The Set SQL Option is supposed to be the first executed but I don't know if putting that code ahead of the other SQL statements in the data division is the proper way to go.  I tried it and got the following compile messages:
