Re: Dynamic SQL question

Mark,

That's how it works.  Here's another snippet that'll
hopefully make it a little clearer:

D workfield      s          10 inz('COOL')
D apos           c             const(x'7D')

   SQLStmt = 'select * from file where field1 = ' +
         apos + workfield + apos

In debug, you'll see that SQLStmt equals:
   "select * from file where field1 = 'COOL'"

This is what's used in the prepare statement, and why
you don't need the parameter markers.  The downside is
that in order for a change in workfield (maybe to
'HOT') to be reflected in the cursor, you have to
close the cursor and re-do the prepare, declare &
open.
