RE: iACS Run SQL Scripts

Yes, a temporary variable just for the script. Would be useful for ad-hoc stuff.

Was this available at 7.1? We just migrated to 7.3 this weekend. Just tried it in one of my scripts and it worked great.

Thanks
Bob

Bob,

Are you talking about a temporary variable inside Run SQL Scripts to use during the session?

If so, you can use "Create Variable [name] [type] default [value]"
Then change it around using "Set [name] = [value]"

It should stay valid during the remainder of the session in any SQL statement made.

I don't think it's possible to create a variable "on-the-fly" inside Run SQL Scripts. If I'm wrong about that, I'd also be interested in know how to accomplish this.

Subject: iACS Run SQL Scripts

After some of Rob's comments I have been playing with the iACS Run SQL Scripts and have been having great fun.

I now wanted to set up a script that has a variable defined for a date.

The error I am getting with this is as follows; SQL State: 42601 Vendor Code: -29 Message: [SQL0029] INTO clause missing
from embedded statement. Cause . . . . . : SELECT and VALUES INTO
statements embedded in a program must have an INTO clause to specify where
the results of the statement are to be placed. Recovery . . . : Add the
INTO clause to the statement and try the request again.

Here is the simplified version of the SQL

begin
declare @PeriodEnd integer;
set @PeriodEnd =
20180901;

select OD.LODTPL as Rego,
LI.TSLTSL as TSL,
LI.TSLOSD as
Start_Date,
OD.LODOED as
End_Date

from scccdbdta/CDBTSLPF LI

where LI.TSLLTY not in ('TST','LIM','ST') and
LI.TSLSTD > @PeriodEnd

order by LI.TSLTSL;
end;

Any suggestions greatly appreciated as google is not my friend today.

Thanks
