RE: SETLL in SQL ?

From: Paul Raulerson

Not to be argumentive either, but are you saying that DB/2 on a 400
doesn't support
scrollable cursors? I would be rather surprised to find that is true.

And scrollable cursors allow you to position either by sequence or by
reference.

You cannot position a cursor by key. This is true in all dialects of SQL.

Specifically: Create a table with an alpha field. Create a cursor over all
records in the table ordered by the alpha field. Position that cursor to
the first record where the field is equal to or greater than "G".

This is what a SETLL does. There is no equivalent in SQL.
