If you are doing this programmatically, then you could create the
execute string on the fly and use an array for the month field names:
<psuedo-code>
d pMonthFields s * inz( %addr( monthFields ) )
d fieldList s 10a based( pMonthFields ) dim(12)
d monthFields ds
d 10a inz('SAL01')
d 10a inz('SAL02')
d 10a inz('SAL03')
d 10a inz('SAL04')
d 10a inz('SAL05')
d 10a inz('SAL06')
d 10a inz('SAL07')
d 10a inz('SAL08')
d 10a inz('SAL09')
d 10a inz('SAL10')
d 10a inz('SAL11')
d 10a inz('SAL12')
d sqlStatement s 32767a varying
/free
sqlStatment = 'Update %%FILENAME%% set ' +
%trim( monthFields( %%monthVariable ) ) +
' = 0 ' ;
/end-free
c/exec sql
c+ Execute Immediate :sqlStatement
c/end-exec
</psuedo-code>
