Re: SQL Statement failing in COBOL program

Going from memory, as I am not at my work computer. 99% sure that the

Declare the cursor with the select statement listed earlier,
I open the cursor, which has an SQLSTATE and SQLCODE of 00000
I then fetch using the cursor name, that is when I get the error with no
data.

When you have it available, can you show the FETCH? Since the error occurs at that time, perhaps that's worth seeing. (And if you found the problem already, can we hear the resolution?)

Part of the problem seems related to "Ran the statement in iNav scripts" although I'm not clear how iNav handles DECLARE CURSOR. When you use embedded FETCH for the noted SELECT, you necessarily add the complexity of host variables.

As a work around I used the statement to create a file using STRSQL,
put the code in a QMQry as an insert, and insert the records into a
temp table with a CL wrapper. I then open the temp file with the
COBOL program to process. That's the long way around! The temp file
does not show any data problems.

You've shown the DECLARE CURSOR, but I don't recall seeing what you
actually _do_ with the CURSOR in your COBOL program... ?
