RE: Embedded SQL in RPGLE pgm

Ok that sounds perfect to what I'm trying to do.  I'd like to build the 
statement and execute like I do with my select statements:
      /FREE
         mainStatement =
         'Select * From Capmstr Where (CRECA = ''A'') AND CPROP1 LIKE ''' 
+
         %Trim(inCivic) + ' %'' AND CSTRET = ' + %Char(inStreet) +
         ' AND CAPT = 0 ORDER BY CPROP1';
      /END-FREE
      * Prepare Select Statement
     C/Exec Sql
     C+ Prepare mainSelect From :mainStatement
     C/End-Exec 

So I'd just build my updateStatement and how would the C/ and C+ 
statements work?

Are you trying to update field names where they are contained in a program
variable (ctrName in this case)?  If you are, I believe you need to use a
dynamically built SQL statement. 

You build the SQL statement in a variable and use PREPARE and EXECUTE.  I
have some examples if you are unable to locate any.

any examples of an UPDATE statement using field names that I want to 
build.
I know how to do it using a plain SELECT statement and creating a 
literal statement and then running it.  But what I'm trying to do this 
time
is something like:
     C/Exec Sql
     C+ UPDATE PUBWRK/WPUSCHEDLE 
     C+ SET %Trim(ctrName) = %Char(retField), 
     C+ %Trim(appName) = %Char(retField)
     C+ WHERE %Trim(dateName) = %Char(inPickupDate)
     C/End-Exec
