I'm trying to use the following embedded SQL in an RPG IV program:
EXEC SQL
select count(*) into :count from :table
where dlitm# = :item# and dldate >= :lastWeek;
I was trying to use "from :table" because our History tables get pushed
at year-end close into a new library, such as HIST2007. Next year at
this time, the library will be named HIST2008 so I wanted to be "flexible".
I tried using a PREPARE and dynamic SQL, but it didn't like the INTO clause.
The manuals and Redbooks don't say that the FROM clause can't take a
variable, but they come awfully close (semantics). But I thought that,
if anyone has figured out a way to circumvent the rules, it would be
someone on the list. Hopefully, when I get back on Monday morning,
someone (or more) of you will have shown me the error of my ways so that
I don't have to do USROPN's with EXTFILE( ) and actually read the table.
Thanks.
