Re: Operation Navigator V5R1

I think you just put it 'inline' in the select statement or whatever.

I don't think cursor means to me what it does to you. On AS/400 it's a
part of the DBMS. Do you mean a loop control variable of some kind?

I'm only going from the manual here. But I've seen various examples of
proedure-like code in select statements. But there's no concept of an
anonymous one that's in effect for awhile, only embedded in a statement,
like

select begin .... end from file

or some such. Right now I know we can use

select case ... endcase from file
