Re: SQLRPG - Fetch Into a record format?

Yes, you can fetch into an externally defined data structure with the *. I 
-think- that a potential problem -may- occur.  If you modify the structure 
of your file by adding columns, and do -not- recompile your program then I 
think that this may generate a severe error.  On earlier versions of 
OS/400 it was no big deal.  However I think IBM got quite picky on this on 
a particular release.

hmmm...

Just for you Dan I created this simple file and program:
CREATE TABLE ROB/DAN01 (FIELD1 CHAR (10 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT,
FIELD2 CHAR (10 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT) 
and added a row
...
     D Dan01ds       e ds                  extname(dan01)

     C* SQL's version of an H spec
     C/EXEC SQL
     C+ Set Option
     C+     Naming    = *Sys,
     C+     Commit    = *None,
     C+     UsrPrf    = *User,
     C+     DynUsrPrf = *User
     C/END-EXEC

     C/EXEC SQL
     C+ select * into :dan01ds
     C+ from dan01
     C/END-EXEC
      /free
       dsply sqlstt;
       *inlr=*on;
       return;
      /end-free
sqlstt was 00000

Then I did this:
ALTER TABLE ROB/DAN01 ADD COLUMN FIELD3 CHAR (10 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT
and ran DAN01 again.  Again sqlstt was 00000.

I must have misread something somewhere.

Doing the SQL thing again.  If I do a "Select *", is there a way to 
"Fetch" into a record format
or a data structure which is externally defined as the file being fetched?
