Re: sql valid end of statement token

Yeah, I almost always go with a QMQRY for just that reason. Maybe SQL scripts are useful for building the database, though.

By the way, there is also a thing called a QMPROC that lets you execute other QM things in it - looked at them years ago and have never quite gone there. STRQMQRY with SERVARs is just too handy in CL.

Thanks.

I actually need to use QMQRY because I want to pass variables from CL to the qry.

QM can process only one SQL statement per QMQRY object. If you want to
do multiples like this, you either need 2 QMQRYs, or you should use
RUNSQLSTM against a source member.

QM uses objects - queries and forms. RUNSQLSTM uses members.

Why use QM instead of RUNSQLSTM? For one thing, you can have
substitution variables. And you are not limited as to the statements you
can use. E.g., you can't use a simple SELECT statement with RUNSQLSTM.

But it looks like you want to use RUNSQLSTM, so one thing you might do
is run these in STRSQL, then save the session to a source member, strip
out all the stuff you don't want, put semi-colons at the end of EACH
statement, and there you are.

I am using STRQM to create a simple SQL script.

CREATE TABLE QTEMP/FILEMSG
(MSG CHAR (128 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT)

INSERT INTO QTEMP/FILEMSG (MSG)
VALUES ('Job exceeded max run min of&MAXRUN')

I get :

Keyword INSERT not expected. Valid tokens:<END-OF-STATEMENT>

Is there some kind of end of stmt required for STRQM that is not
required in STRSQL where this script works fine?

I tried it with semi-colon and got same results
