Charles,


I read the manual. It didn't work. I am surmising that it was because it (the '+') is within a quoted string. I.e., anything within the quote marks are taken without translation or continuation. Makes sense (to me, anyway) that it would be this way because it's conceivable that one may actually want to include a '+' character.

Got another problem now, but I've yet to run it through debug. The job log led me to a "User Trace Dump" but, so far, it's Greek to me! I'll investigate as thoroughly as possible before I post anything here.

Glad to hear it.

Tommy's response to this is the method I usually use.  Just seems easier
than looking up the continuation rules.

But if I'm understanding the rules correctly, then HdrString = 'INSERT Into ' + %trim(Library) + '/' + %trim(HdrFile) + 'Values(?,?,?, +
             ?,?)';

Should work just fine.

(from the manual):
* The first use of '+' in this example is the concatenation * operator. The second use is the character literal continuation. C EVAL ERRMSG = NAME + C ' was not found + C in the file.'

Note, a plus (+) indicates continuation with the first non-blank
character in or past the first position in the continued field.
So you don't get any extra spaces.

However, just an FYI but SQL would not have cared about the extra white
space anyways.


HTH,

Charles Wilt

Subject: Re: PREPARE Statement Problem

Something was, indeed, wrong with the PREPARE statement. Or more precisely its placement.

<snip>
Just seems that, since it's part of a quoted string, there's no way to do the continuation with a '+' as it would think that (and the blanks) were part of the quote.
