Michael,

Insert will work with, but the syntax is a little strange:

Insert into NEWSYS/EMLslsP (Esemp#, Esemail, esactive, escred)
with stuff as (Select xmmail, xmsmn1, min(xmcdte) From posmstp
Select * from stuff

When you look at the syntax diagrams it makes sense

INSERT INTO table-name (columns)
->Select-statement<-

Select-statements (using CTE's look like)
WITH ctename ->fullselect<-

And the fullselect is of course
SELECT coumns
FROM sometable
WHERE
<snip>


Note that v5r3 supported CTE in an insert statement.

HTH,


Charles Wilt

Subject: SQL - CTE - Insert

Well, looking at Charles example of a CTE, I thought I would try this:

with stuff as (Select xmmail, xmsmn1, min(xmcdte) From posmstp
Where xmmail <> ' ' Group by xmmail, xmsmn1) INSERT INTO
NEWSYS/EMLslsP (Esemp#, Esemail, esactive, escred) from (select * from
stuff)

But I get this error:
Keyword INSERT not expected. Valid tokens: ( SELECT.

This works fine:

with stuff as (Select xmmail, xmsmn1, min(xmcdte)
               From posmstp
               Where xmmail <> ' '
               Group by xmmail, xmsmn1)
select xmmail, xmsmn1 from stuff

Does an Insert not work with a CTE like this?

Also, prompting isn't supported when I use a CTE - is that 
just the way it
is?
