Re: A little sql help needed

Upgrade to v4r3. That's when the scalar & row subselect support was added
to UPDATE.  But you might need to create a temporary result, using some
kind of join, then copy that to the original. Or set it up with a QMQRY,
then STRQMQRY with output to the original file. It'll replace it in place
-- definitely DANGER WILL ROBINSON time here.

Basically it'd be a JOIN where that column always comes from the APAR file.
