I thought this would work, as there is no syntax error using double
quotes
D SelectOne S 500A INZ('SELECT ITNBR, ITDSC, -
D ITTYP -
D FROM AMFLIB/ITEMASA -
D WHERE SUBSTR(FIL44,43,1)="R" -
D ORDER BY')
But no records are selected on the OPEN MYCSR, but when I comment the
substr D spec, it retrieves ALL records.
If you look up the error code you'll find -206 is Column &1 not found in specified tables. Why? because you used "R". Double quotes make it a column name. Why? RTFM. Since you want to compare against a character string you need to use single quotes, that is, 'R'. Since the quoted string is inside another quoted string (the SQL statement) you need to escape the embedded single quotes by doubling them. Not by using a DOUBLE QUOTE but rather two SINGLE QUOTES. This is basic string handling and nothing special with SQL.
