Re: SQLRPG - prepare, declare, no cursor

SELECT COUNT(*) INTO :HOSTVAR
from file
WHERE (FIELD1 = :WHERE1 Or :WHERE1 = *Blanks) And
      (FIELD2 = :WHERE2 Or :WHERE2 = *Blanks) And
      (FIELD3 = :WHERE3 Or :WHERE3 = *Blanks) And
      (FIELD4 = :WHERE4 Or :WHERE4 = *Blanks) And
      (FIELD5 = :WHERE5 Or :WHERE5 = *Blanks) And
      (FIELD6 = :WHERE6 Or :WHERE6 = *Blanks)


Just a thought, without building a select statement dynamically and doing a
prepare.

Hey all,

I know if done this before, but I'm drawing a blank.

I'm building a dynamic sql statement (variable 'where' clause, could
contain as few as one, as many as 6 fields to compare in my where
statement).

All i want is the record count  -  count(*), moved into a host
variable - so there will be no cursor - only a single fetch of the
record count.

which of the following steps do I need to run, in order, to do this?

prepare
declare
execute
open
fetch

I RTFM'd, but I'm not getting anywhere.

Thanks!
