RE: SQL WITH statement.

SQL statements in RUNSQLSTM cannot just be simple a simple select.  It has to 
INSERT INTO existing_table (with ..... ) -or- CREATE TABLE new_table AS (with 
..... ) WITH DATA

Subject: SQL WITH statement.


I found an example of creating a temporary table in SQL on another site
which used the construct 'WITH file AS (Select......)'.

(http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg021506-story02.html)

 

I've used it in interactive SQL and it works exactly as required. It
doesn't seem to work through RUNSQLSTM though. Anyone know why?

 

I tried looking for references to it in the SQL Reference manual, the
IBM on-line references, but to no avail. I couldn't find anything in
GOOGLE either. But it works. Can anyone point me in the right direction
for technical details and/or more examples please?

 

I'm trying to solve a problem whereby I want to use the temporary table
in a join with another file, and I was hoping to solve this problem
through documentation.

 

Thanks
