RE: Using Array Values in Insert Query ?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

By the way, I did test this on a V5R3 machine and it works great:

     d TestAry         ds                  dim(25) qualified
     d  name                         25a
     d  age                           5i 0
     d x               s              5i 0

      /free
       for x=1 to %elem(TestAry);
         TestAry(x).name='Fred';
         TestAry(x).age=x+5;
       ENDFOR;
      /end-free

     C/EXEC SQL
     C+ insert into rob/thatfile
     C+ 25 rows
     C+ values (:testary)
     C/END-EXEC

And this worked also:
       x=5;
      /end-free

     C/EXEC SQL
     C+ insert into rob/thatfile
     C+ :x rows
     C+ values (:testary)
     C/END-EXEC

Be warned.  I tried not setting x to 5 and the value of x at the sql time 
was set to 26.  Just a minor thing but don't assume that x is equal to 25 
at the end of the FOR loop.  If that's what you want then try:
x=%elem(TestAry);
Just prior to the INSERT.

RE: Using Array Values in Insert Query ?






The better way of doing this would be to insert the entire block of rows 
at once.

c/exec SQL
c+  insert into luqman/cont_item
c+    25 rows values (:CITEMSTR)
c/end-exec


Note that your DS needs to be a Multiple Occurrence DS and not an array DS 
(unless you are at v5r3 ???).

     D CITEMSTR        DS                  occurs(25)
     D  MCN2                         15
     D  MSN                           5I 0
     D  MACODE1                      10
     D  MQTY1                         5I 0
     D  MPRICE1                      12  2
     D  MAMOUNT1                     12  2


note the use of the OCCURS keyword to create a Multiple Occurrence DS 
(MODS) as opposed to the use of DIM to create an array DS.
