RE: imbedded sql sytax question

The "problem" (please take note of quotes) with this answer is that there
is an implicit assumption that there's a record in file1 that corresponds
to a record in file2 and vice-versa.
One of the good things that most mainframes had (IBM, UNIVAC, BURROUGHS,
UNISYS, ICL etc) was that there was a way to pseudo concatenate like files
together (through JCL, WFL etc) so that 2 separate, but like files, looked
like it was in fact one larger file.
Is there a way of doing this in SQL?

Easy, suppose your select statement looks like:

select a.field1, a.field2, b.field3, b.field4, date(b.charDate) as

TheDate

from thisFile A join ThatFile B
on a.field1 = b.field26
where a.field13>13000

Now take that same select statement and prefix it with one line
Create view mylib/myfile as (
select a.field1, a.field2, b.field3, b.field4, date(b.charDate) as

TheDate

from thisFile A join ThatFile B
on a.field1 = b.field26
where a.field13>13000)

Ok,

Can you give me an example of the CREATE VIEW?

Hopefully not-hosed...

Do you do this kind of join a lot?  If so, then, outside of your program,

do a
CREATE VIEW
and do the join in there.  That will then have all the fields you might
want in your datastructure to fetch into.  Otherwise, you're hosed.

imbedded sql sytax question






Hi All,



I have a select statement as follows:



Select  * from File1 where phonenumber = '2015551212';



This works great, but now I have another file (File2 or argument sake)
that
contains additional phone numbers. File1 and File2 can be joined by
clientnumber.



My code is as follows





exec sql set option datfmt=*usa;

exec sql prepare s2 from :dynstm;

exec sql declare c2 cursor for s2;

exec sql open c2;

exec sql fetch c2 into :thefileds;

dow sqlcod = 0;





Is there a way for me to join these 2 files together (File1 & File2) and
still be able to use the "thefileds" on my fetch.





Hope this makes some kind of sense.



Tim
