Re: How can I retrieve the number of records in a file with SQL.

As you've found, SELECT INTO can't be dynamically prepared...

VALUES INTO however can..

I have a program that processes 25 files. The data I need is not static

so

I have to use dynamic SQL statements.

Example:
wSqlCmd = 'Select COUNT(*) from Library/' + %trim(file_name);
exec sql execute immediate :wSqlCmd;

How would I be able to do the equivalent of Select count(*) into :wCount
from library/file;

TIA, Darryl Freinkel.
