Rob,

The DB2 for i syntax is:

INSERT INTO Table
(Column1, Column2, etc.)
Values (Value1, Value2, etc.)

Subject: INSERT INTO Table SET "Field"='Value" ;

This is valid in MySQL...

INSERT INTO Table SET "Field"='Value" ;

But I get a "Token SET is not a valid Token"...

I do not expect DB2 to support everything MySQL does... just looking
for some clarification.. is this possible? Or is my syntax just wrong?

I have a SaveRec function.... on an update... it uses the where clause
to look up the old rec and compare the fields and only replace those
that are different and log the changes, (who, when, table, fields,
before, after)...

MySQL made it convenient allowing a SET to be used with an INSERT as
well as an UPDATE... thus I only had to build a SET string and not
bother with a ( Fields ) & Values () string...

I did google right down to just INSERT INTO SET... got nothing...

Power8 v7r1
PHP
DB2

Thanks,
Rob
