RE: sql question

["Smith, Mike" <Mike_Smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Phil.
i'm a little fuzzy on the PREPARE, but ill do some digging on this. 
this is interesting cause its a NEW COMPANY for me.  So I know nothing of
the system yet.  Trying to retro fit some SQL into an existing subfile
program.  Not being well versed in SQL.  Lots of fun though.

while we are on the subject of SQL.  Are there advantages to setting up
files via SQL vs DDS

Using embedded sql for display file pgms is nice. It
reduces the lines of code, makes sorting on different
columns easy, and makes page up easy. 

There was an article in midrange computing about a
year ago that shows how to do it.  I think the
Sorcerer's Guide redbook also talks about.

What I do (there are probably other ways) is:
1. prepare a cursor (this is where the select is)
2. declare that cursor as scrollable
3. open that cursor
4. fetch from the cursor.  You can fetch next, prior,
first, current, or rrn.
