I don't use embeded SQL statement in my RPG program frequently, but I had to use them this time due to the lack of logical file. what is the best way to do the following
I have to filter the selected records from two files fileA & fileB according to some conditions (coming to me as parameter from the caller)
so I have the basic select statement joing the two files
C/EXEC SQL DECLARE MYCUR CURSOR FOR
C+ SELECT field1a , field2a , field3a, field4a, field5a
C+ field5a, field1b, field2b, field3b, field4b
C+ FROM FileA , FileB
C+ WHERE
C+ field1a = field1b AND
C+ field2a = field2b AND
C+ field3a = field3b
C/END-EXEC
and I have to filter the records according to input parameter in the following sequence
Parm1 if not eq *blanks
C/EXEC SQL DECLARE MYCUR CURSOR FOR
C+ SELECT field1a , field2a , field3a, field4a, field5a
C+ field6a, field1b, field2b, field3b, field4b
C+ FROM FileA , FileB
C+ WHERE
C+ field1a = field1b AND
C+ field2a = field2b AND
C+ field3a = field3b and field5a = : parm1
C/END-EXEC
Parm2 if it is not equal blanks
C/EXEC SQL DECLARE MYCUR CURSOR FOR
C+ SELECT field1a , field2a , field3a, field4a, field5a
C+ field6a, field1b, field2b, field3b, field4b
C+ FROM FileA , FileB
C+ WHERE
C+ field1a = field1b AND
C+ field2a = field2b AND
C+ field3a = field3b and field5a = : parm1 and field6a = : parm2
C/END-EXEC
and so on for the rest of parameters
Is there a smart method that saves me from writing the sql statement many times with different where conditions
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long mail
