Re: Soft coding SQL based on parameter file

Oh yeah, %scanrpl() is awesome. I have a mailmerge app for AR letters where I used it extensively.

Once I gave it some fresh thought, this was a simple solution...

// chain to get the file name, column names, and descriptions

qtSUMFLD102 = cnQT + %trim(SUMFLD102) + cnQT;
qtSUMFLD202 = cnQT + %trim(SUMFLD202) + cnQT;
qtSUMTXT102 = cnQT + %trim(SUMTXT102) + cnQT;
qtSUMTXT202 = cnQT + %trim(SUMTXT202) + cnQT;

sqlStmt = 'select '
+ qtSUMFLD102 + ' , '
+ qtSUMFLD202 + ' , '
+ qtSUMTXT102 + ' , '
+ qtSUMTXT202 + ' , '
+ 'sum(' + SUMFLD102 + ') , '
+ 'sum(' + SUMFLD202 + ') , '
+ 'count(*) '
+ 'from '
+ FILNAM02;

Prepare, etc..... Fetch Into :dsSum;

EVAL DSSUM
FIELD1 OF DSSUM = 'ORIAMOUNT '
FIELD2 OF DSSUM = 'REMAMOUNT '
TEXT1 OF DSSUM = 'ORIGINAL AMOUNT '
TEXT2 OF DSSUM = 'REMAINING AMOUNT '
VALUE1 OF DSSUM = 0000000000200.00
VALUE2 OF DSSUM = 0000000000100.00
RCDCOUNT OF DSSUM = 1

If you are on V7R1 or forward use %SccanRpl. Will make your life so much
easier.

Statement = 'Select <<FIELD1>>,
                    <<FIELD2>>
               From <<File>>
               Where <<FIELD3>> = Cast(? As Char(10))'

Statement = %ScanRpl('<<FIELD1>>', FieldName, Statement);

etc.

Especially handy for quotes

dcl-c QUOTE '''';

Statement = 'Select <<FIELD1>>,
                    <<FIELD2>>
               From <<File>>
               Where <<FIELD3>> = Cast(? As Char(10))' And
                     <<FIELD4>> = <<Q>>Y<<Q>>)'

Statement = %ScanRpl('<<Q>>',QUOTE: Statement);

Thanks.  I did get it to work with dynamic SQL.  Just straightening out
the right mix of literals and data values to string together.

Short & Sweet to do what I want.

         Just use VALUES ... INTO and dynamic SQL.  You just have to build
most of the SQL statement in a variable-length character variable.  You
can't use a parameter marker for the select columns or the table/view
names FROM which to get the data or the GROUP BY or ORDER BY clauses.  You
can use parameter markers for the WHERE clause if you want to.

Sincerely,

Dave Clark
