RE: embedded sql not compiling

I've always used set on variables. Not sure why.
This works for example :

EXEC SQL
SET : gDatFn = LAST_DAY ( : APlnDt );


Maybe the into is required because i'm doing a select?

SET applies to UPDATE. Is this an UPDATE statement? Or do
you want VALUES ... INTO?

Hi,

What's wrong with my statement?

EXEC SQL
SET : NSQNO = SELECT MAX(NSQNO) + 1
FROM NPAI WHERE NENVCD = : wEnvCd AND NDOSNO = :
wNoRf;

Here's an extract from the compile listing :

.+... 2 ...+... 3 ...+... 4 ...+... 5 ...+... 6 ...+.
SET : NSQNO = SELECT MAX(NSQNO) + 1

syntaxique MAX n'est pas correct.

Thanks.
