RE: SQL Mystery?

["Leland, David" <dleland@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I really think that this is a bug in SQL.  It should ALWAYS return the actual RRN of the physical record.

No, I'm not really looking to order by RRN.

 

Let me see, how can I word this.

 

If I use STRSQL and run the statement:

Select RRN(a), a.* from CSTMSTPF where CSZIP <> '58201' order by CSZIP

 

I get the _real_ RRN in the results.

 

If I use dynamic SQL in an RPG program (CGI program actually) and use a cursor, the RRN returned is not the real RRN of the PF, but the RRN of the subset of records.  So the first record has an RRN of 1, the second, 2, etc.. etc..

 

Could it be because I am PREPAREing and DELCLAREing a cursor (as dynamic scroll)?  Not sure.  I'd be interested to know for sure. :) 

 

Help any more?

 

Brad

Insert " ORDER BY RRN(CSTMSTPF)" in your statement.  This will allow you to put it in RRN order.  And then if you want a selected set, add a "WHERE RRN(CSTMSPF) BETWEEN 1 AND 50", or you use a <= , or something else to select your range.

 

I hope this was what you where asking for.
