Hi,

I have a situation wherein I do'nt know how to do that. The thing is , I 
have 2 tables Table A & Table B. 

Table A (in library A)                                       Table B(in 
library B)
----------                                                             
-----------
                                                                      
 Field A                                                           Field 
C

 Field B                                                           Field 
D

 Field E                                                           Field 
E

 Field F

 Now I want to select all fields of table A and update field A with 
Field C and Field B with Field D. When I try to do this via Interacive 
SQL , I get an error message saying that an Update to clause cannot be 
used with a Select statement. I tried SQLRPG through cursors but the 
result was the same. I will be happy if any one may be able to throw 
some light on how to do this. I use V4R1. 


Thanks.

Prakash.
