RE: Using Embedded SQL

[Lurton Keel <LKeel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is some code for creating a dynamic select statement.
This example uses pre-selected fields but variable where and order by
clauses.
Changing the fields would be a little different.

D dyns            s            256a
D a               s              1a   inz('''')
D select          c                   const('SELECT PN,-
d                                      CATNO,DRAWNG,OLDPN FROM PNMAST')
D w1              c                   const(' WHERE CATNO  >= ')
D w2              c                   const(' WHERE DRAWNG >= ')
D w3              c                   const(' WHERE OLDPN >= ')
d o1              c                   const('  ORDER BY CATNO')
d o2              c                   const('  ORDER BY DRAWNG')
d o3              c                   const('  ORDER BY OLDPN')
D rrn             s              3  0
D RPT             DS
D  PN                     1      7  0
D  CATNO                  8     32
D  DRAWNG                33     40
D  OLDPN                 41     65
