Re: SQL Next Sequence

use dynamic SQL with a VALUES INTO statement, rather than a SELECT INTO...

Something like so:

wSqlSelect = 'values( next value for ' + USER +
' ) into ?';
exec sql
prepare GetNextValue from :wSqlSelect;
exec sql
execute GetNextValue using :myValue;

Note: Can't use execute immediate.

Are you talking about the value for an auto-generated identity column? I
know you can get the value you just generated like this:
EXEC SQL values identity_val_local() into :hostVariable;

If you want the next value that hasn't been generated, then I don't know
about that.

Subject: SQL Next Sequence

How can I retrieve the next sequence into an RPG variable?

Tried this but it's not right :-)

wSqlSelect = 'select next value for ' + USER +
'from SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY into :counter'; exec sql

execute

immediate :wSqlSelect;


Thanks
