RE: SQL equivalent to setll/%equal

["Walden H. Leverich III" <WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not that I know of. Basically you use it anytime you want to use SQL but
don't need a file. As you mention, date math is a great example (although
less necessary now that RPG has real dates)

Thanks!  Is there any documentation anywhere for all the things you can do
with the QSQPTABL (I use it for date math)?  I've looked through the
Infocenter, but I can't find anything.

Mike,

SELECT 1 FROM QSQPTABL WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM ITEMMASTER WHERE
ITEMNUMBER = 8)

I know someone just posted this but I cannot find it anywhere in the
archives.

What is the SQL equivalent to using setll and %equal to see if a record
exists in a file?
