Hi,

I am writing a SQL script to be run interactively on STRSQL session.
The file has several thousand rows.
I like to retrieve let say only the first 100 rows.
What is the Syntax to use ?

I know that I was able to something like this in ORACLE world.
But ROWNUM is not recognized on IBM i (we are on V7R1)

SELECT * FROM ORDERS WHERE ROWNUM < 101

----

Mohan Eashver
