figured it out.  was really simple and just kinda dumb on my part. 

i was putting the data from my fetch into a datastructre based on the flat
file, when i should have been putting the data into host variables.  

Now it works fine.  

thanks anyway.

Subject: embedded sql-substr of flat file


Ok, all my sql guru friends 

here is my situation. 

I have an embedded SQL program that uses a flat file.  I need to seperate
the fields out of the flat file via SUBSTR.     
here is the declare of my cursor, 
I want to print the fields GRADE, LAST, FIRST, ETC. but it won't let me
print these fields.  it tells me they are not defined which i guess they
really aren't, but i'm not sure where to go from here.  


/EXEC SQL                                                          
+ DECLARE FULCURS CURSOR FOR SELECT SUBSTR(TOTRCD,7,1) AS GRADE,   
+ SUBSTR(TOTRCD,9,30) AS LAST, SUBSTR(TOTRCD,39,6) AS FIRST,       
+ SUBSTR(TOTRCD,45,8) AS NUMB, SUBSTR(TOTRCD,53,20) AS STREET,     
+ SUBSTR(TOTRCD,75,20) AS CITY, SUBSTR(TOTRCD,107,10) AS ZIP,      
+ SUBSTR(TOTRCD,117,3) AS AREACODE, SUBSTR(TOTRCD,120,3) AS        
+ PHONEPRE, SUBSTR(TOTRCD,123,4) AS PHONEEND, SUBSTR(TOTRCD,147,7) 
+ AS ACCT FROM RGCDNOUT ORDER BY GRADE, ACCT                       
/END-EXEC                                                          


SO, how can i substring a flat file and print the resulting fields.  

thanks 
hope that makes sense.
