RE: Running SQL statement from CLP or CLLE

Hi, Bernd:

I posted something recently that would take an arbitrary SQL statement, and
send the result of the statement to the previous program (via send message
API). That could pretty easily be modified to return a parameter instead.

Code is at http://code.midrange.com/cba26e1723.hml

Let us know if you need help.

Betreff: Running SQL statement from CLP or CLLE

I'm not sure whether this is the right forum to ask the following
question but I try.

I have a CLP in which I want to get information from a file.

As the file is quite big I do not want to get the info from it by RCVF
command because it could take a lot of time to get the information back.

MYFILE1 is a keyed file with MYFIELD1,.2,.3,.4 as unique key.

Of course I could call a RPG program from the CLP to get the requested
info returned by a parameter, but why not getting it by a single
"SELECT" statement?

The point is, that I want to do it like this: "SELECT MYFIELDx FROM
MYLIB/MYFILE1 WHERE MYFIELD1 = &PARM1 AND MYFIELD2 = &PARM2 AND
MYFIELD3
= &PARM3 AND MYFIELD4 = &PARM4 ".

I haven't found any info or examples yet.

Maybe one of you know how to do it best or has another brilliant idea.

Thanx in advance

Bernd
