Re: SQL UPDATE with SELECT not working

Hi Peter,

Not sure what you're trying to do here, but maybe it should be something like this:

UPDATE PVIDAL/INSPEC
SET INMJMN = '6'
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM AERODTATST/INSPEC, AMFLIBN/RTGOPR WHERE INSPEC.INITEM = RTGOPR.RTID
AND INSPEC.INATRB Like '%ANODIZE%'
AND INSPEC.INMJMN<>6
AND RTGOPR.WKCTR='CA00')

Hi list:

What is wrong here?

UPDATE PVIDAL/INSPEC SET INMJMN = '6' WHERE SELECT INSPEC.INITEM, INSPEC.INATRB, INSPEC.INOPNO, INSPEC.INSEQ, INSPEC.INSRT, INSPEC.INMJMN, RTGOPR.WKCTR FROM AERODTATST/INSPEC, AMFLIBN/RTGOPR WHERE INSPEC.INITEM = RTGOPR.RTID AND ((INSPEC.INATRB Like '%ANODIZE%') AND (INSPEC.INMJMN<>6) AND (RTGOPR.WKCTR='CA00'))
The error message is:
Token INSPEC was not valid. Valid tokens: < > = <> <= !< !> != >= ¬<

The cursor is placed on INSPEC.INITEM, immediatelly after the SELECT clause.
