Thanks for further research.  Actually IBM has me doing some intense
tracing right now on this.  A lot of weird stuff in the query options file
to generate numerous dumps, etc.

Ergo - it should work.

Rob,

A late reaction. (And this question popped up twice last week)

I tried (in Query Manager) an SQL statement with parameter markers on the
ORDER BY clause and it returned MSGID SQL0208: The parameter marker is not
an element in the result set, defined in the SELECT clause.

I do not know, if there is an equivalent value for SQLSTT.

Methinks, it is usefull to check SQL syntax in an pure SQL environment,
like Query Manager, before using it in embedded SQL, prepared statements
and host variables. That may compile.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.
