RE: Select mytable name from mytable?

nutshell the resulting statement would be simliar to this
insert into mylib/myfile (select a.*, 'MYNEWFILE' from mynewlib/mynewfile
a
union all select b.*,'MYOTHERFILE' from myotherlib/myotherfile b )

so records from the mynewfile would have the last column = 'MYNEWFILE' and
the records from myotherfile the last column would contain 'MYOTHERFILE'
and all of the records would be placed into MYFILE.


Thanks,

for the insert you *should* be able to do something along the lines of
mystatement = 'INSERT INTO MYLIB/MYFILE (SELECT A.*, ''' + MYFILENAME +
''' FROM ' + %TRIM(MYNEWLIB) + '/' %TRIM(MYNEWFILE) + ' A UNION ALL
SELECT
B.*, ''' +
MYOTHERFILENAME + ''' FROM ' + %TRIM(MYOTHERLIB) + '/' +
%TRIM(MYOTHERFILE) + ' B )';

exec sql execute immediate :mystatement;

Yes. So I create myfile. Then I do this insert, a million times. Then I
rename the file to mynewname. Then I select mytable from mynewname. Why
does the output show "myfile" when the file is clearly named "mynewname?"
What am I doing wrong?
