Help needed. I have researched this but cannot find a definitive answer.
I am trying to generate a dynamic SQL INSERT using SQL descriptors.

I have built the SQL string with parameter markers, prepared the statement, allocated and described the SQL descriptor. 
Now I want to use the SET DESCRIPTOR to define the fields within the SQL.

exec SQL 
set descriptor :Desc_n
value :parmNo 
type = :Data_Type, 
length = :Data_Len, 
data = :XXXXXX;

The part I am stuck on is the 'data' parameter. This seems to insist on a local variable and will not accept an array element. The reason I need the array is that is contains all field names that should be contained within the SQL INSERT Statement. If I have to specifically name a field the dynamic seems to have disappeared.

Hopefully I'm wrong!!
