RE: Dynamic SQL

[Scott Mildenberger <SMildenberger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But I believe you should be able to do:

Exec sql select sum(pinv) into :w1 from CMSFWRK20 
   where PCLS between :w2 and :w3
   and PYEAR = :w4 and PPERD = :w5

Merging this answer with Jim's and what I can remember doing, a "select into" can't be done as an execute so you need to create a cursor and do a fetch into a variable.

This statement can only be embedded in an application program. It is an executable statement that cannot be dynamically prepared. It must not be specified in REXX.

I think you might need a space before and in the 3rd line.
