Hi,

I'd simply the data structure definition as follows:

D Amounts_DS DS
D Amt01 7P 0
D Amt02 7P 0
D Amt03 7P 0
D Amt04 7P 0
D Amt05 7P 0
D Amt06 7P 0
D Amt07 7P 0
D AmtArray 7P 0 Overlay(Amounts_DS) Dim(7)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Birgitta Hauser

Betreff: RE: SQL select into [array]?

Out of luck. SQL won't accept array elements and into cannot go into
an array.

I put a request for new features that you could do a fetch into an
array but of course who knows if they are ever going to do or at all.

I am looking for an elegant way to code an embedded SQL statement
that
selects into, where the host target is an array.

As in:

Select Field1, Field2, Field3
into :MyArray(1), :MyArray(2), :MyArray(3) From *libl/MyTable

Where Key1 = :MyKey;

The way I have done this in the past is something like this:

D Amounts_DS DS
D Amt01 7P 0
D Amt02 7P 0
D Amt03 7P 0
D Amt04 7P 0
D Amt05 7P 0
D Amt06 7P 0
D Amt07 7P 0

D pAmts S * Inz(%Addr(Amounts_DS))
D AmtArray S 7P 0 Based(pAmts) Dim(7)

Exec SQL
SELECT Amt1, Amt2, ... Amt7
INTO Amounts_DS
FROM ...
;
