Re: ACS Run SQL Scripts - define a variable

Not to add to your post, Niels, just adding to something I posted before - I'd suggested that Don look at examples in ACS - seems he didn't find anything useful, so I went looking, opened the Examples item in the Edit menu, and typed "diagnostics" in the search box - 2 items were found - both were compound statements, as you show here - and since they are examples IN ACS, it shows that one can do exactly as you show here.

Very cool!

Like this:

begin

declare rows int;

-- do you stuff
GET DIAGNOSTICS Rows = ROW_COUNT ; --to get the number of rows
end;

Unfortunately, according to the manual, get diagnostics can only be used
in an embedded program, not interactively:

"This statement can only be embedded in an application program, SQL
function,
SQL procedure, or trigger. It cannot be issued interactively. It is an
executable
statement that cannot be dynamically prepared."

Subject: ACS Run SQL Scripts - define a variable

In a post from Jon Paris on a different thread Jon suggested using

exec sql GET DIAGNOSTICS :Rows = ROW_COUNT ; to get the number of rows
returned by the previous select.

Is it possible to do this in the ACS run SQL Scrips - How can I define a
variable to receive the row count into ?


Thanks

Don
