Re: SQLRPGLE example of Fetch, use data for report, then Update

Alright!  Learned another SQL trick!  Thanks to both Tommy and Charles!

Charles, this is a "one-time fix" and three fields will be updated on
selected records.  Not sure I want to go through the trouble, small as
it is, of setting up a journal and requiring more code to pull the
journal entries out and printing them.

Thanks again, guys!
