Re: Ignoring error messages in SQL scripts

No, IF EXISTS only resides, it seems, everywhere else. IBM don't need no steenkin' IF EXISTS clause. ;) Well. . . as of v5r3, anyway

Great thing abt standards, right?

Good morning all
I have an SQL script run by the command
RUNSQLSTM SRCFILE(libname/QSQLSRC) SRCMBR(MBRNAME)
Within the script MBRNAME I have

DROP VIEW library/viewname

Followed by

Create view library/viewname
Etc.

In this particular instance the view library/viewname had already been

dropped, so my RUNSQLSTM failed on the drop

My question is
I knew why the view wasn't there, so I wasn't bothered about the drop

in the SQL script, so how would I ignore such an error?

Is there the equivalent to a MONMSG within SQL scripts?
Is there a reference manual that I could read regarding SQL scripts

As always, any and all responses MUCH appreciated
