V3R2: EMBEDDED SQL

I'm attempting to code an embedded SQL select statement for a cursor by
building the SQL statement, preparing it, and then opening the associated
cursor.

I keep getting no records returned.  The SQL select looks fine.  Can anyone
provide some help?

Here's the code:
D SQLSTR          S            256A                    
D*                                                    
C/EXEC SQL                                             
C+ DECLARE WRKEMPCR CURSOR                             
C+    FOR DYNSQLSTMT                                   
C/END-EXEC                                             
C                   EVAL      SQLSTR = 'SELECT * FROM AFILE +         
C                                 WHERE FLD1 = ' +                    
C                                 VALUE1 +                             
C                                 ' ORDER BY FLD2, FLD3'             
C*                                                                      
C/EXEC SQL                                                              
C+                  PREPARE DYNSQLSTMT                                  
C+                    FROM  :SQLSTR                                     
C/END-EXEC                                                              
C/EXEC SQL                                                 
C+                  OPEN      WRKEMPCR                     
C/END-EXEC
