Subject: Embedded SQL no record retrieved error handling

I am new to using embedded SQL, and am trying to learn it in
baby steps.
I did get my first program with embedded RPG to work fine. It
retrieves a
single value from a database record in a physical file.
Compiled, works fine as long as the record is found.

If the record is not found I get error: SQLSTT = 58004 SQLCOD = -901

Is it normal to get these when no record is retrieved by the SQL

That's right, you must inspect feedback codes to determine the success or failure of each and every SQL statement.

One way to deal with SQL states and codes is with 'whenever' SQL statements. These are pre-processor directive that can relieve the burden of inspecting feedback for specific state- and code-value, like -901 in your example. Unfortunately they are GOTO-based and so may not smoothly integrate with your beautifully and rigorously structured-programming coding style.
