Re: SQL Fun

Your select statement knows nothing about RPG variables or DS subfields - it is
completely local to the statement - same column names don't matter at all. Now
the thing you DO need is the host variables -- the ones where you use a colon
ahead of the names.

Were you getting an error or unexpected result, of is this just theory? Because
it is easier than I think you are making it.

<<< use prefixes on the external DS... >>>

As I said before, that has not worked. Here is what I coded:

* Detail File
D PDTOTDTL E DS ExtName(PDTOTDTL) Prefix(D_)

C/Exec SQL
+ Select Count(D_QCORD#) Into :Count From FPTOTDTL
+ Where D_QCORD# = :$ORDER -- Count Order Records
C/End-Exec


This is the error it generates:

SQL0206 30 431 Position 23 Column D_QCORD# not in specified tables.
SQL0206 30 432 Position 17 Column D_QCORD# not in specified tables.

Is there an interim step or something I'm missing?
