As someone said, you need to end each SQL statement in your source file
with a semi-colon   (;


Journalling:  SQL tries to use committment control on all the SQL
statements in your source member.  If you're updating or deleting a lot,
you have to take care of all of those transactions on the chance that you
want to un-do the whole thing.

One way out is to prompt the RUNSQLSTM(t) command and tell it not to
journal the transactions.

BEWARE!  If it fails some of your records will be updated, some will not be.
