Re: Is there a better way to run SQL in a CL pgm?

You can reduce the number of apostrophes
chgvar &sqlCmd ('select client_n,' +
*tcat 'max(case when client_act = ''S'' then client_act else null end)
' +
*tcat ' as Settlement_Act,' +
*tcat 'max(case when client_act = ''M'' then client_act else null end)
' +
*tcat ' as Memo_Act,' +
*tcat 'max(case when client_act = ''C'' then client_act else null end)
' +
*tcat ' as Contract_Act' +
*tcat ' from clientact group by client_n order by client_n')
However, some people are null phobic.
