Re: SQL auto-generates select list of fields for primary select

As it happens, I am already generating the first part of the SQL statement
in a variable in a CLLE program, for which the RUNSQL statement will use to
execute. I need to get the output of the "system_column_name from
syscolumns", normally appearing as
FLD3
FLD4
to appear as
FLD3, FLD4

I know there's a way to do that, just need to find the right function or
keyword.

Keeping in mind that you can do

select system_column_name
from syscolumns
where system_table_name='MYFILE' and system_table_scheme='MYLIB' and
system_column_name not in('PAYRATE', 'SSN')

perhaps you can figure out some way to concatenate that list. Someone
recently did something with XML in SQL that blew my mind.

But the long slow painful way in RPG could be done and then you could
store your sql command string in a variable,
use PREPARE and EXECUTE (or EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and get your desired
statement.
