RE: Embedded SQL

You can use a select statement to return a single row. The format is
SELECT n, nn, nnn,...
INTO :var1, :var2, :var3, ...
WHERE a=b, etc..

Subject: Embedded SQL

The following embedded SQL is going to return only one record in the
result set. Do I need to use CURSOR logic (declare , open, fetch,
close)
to get the values into my variables as shown. Or, is there another way
(VALUES INTO, etc.). I ask because it seems that using the CURSOR
logic
is very expensive. I need to execute this code several thousand times.
Thanks.

exec sql
declare c3 cursor for
SELECT office, chart,
sum(value(dec((dec((substr(undata,4,7)),7,0)) /
100),7,2))
FROM NHISxx
WHERE rectyp = 'PA' and office = :svOffice and chart =
:svChart
and idate(crtdat,'*YMD') between :pStrDate and :pEndDate
GROUP BY office, chart;

exec sql
open c3;

exec sql
fetch next from c3
into :hsOffice,
:hsChart,
:hsPmtAmt;

exec sql
close c3;
