My solution to this issue was/is put the values into a CODES table.


Select * from myfile
where myfield in (select codevalue from codes where type = 'BLAH')

As others already pointed out you cannot use IN and HostVariables in this
way, but ...
You can try the following instead:

Select YourColumn ....
From YourFile ...
Where :CheckType like '%' concat Trim(YourColumn) concat '%'

But keep in mind:
If you do not have other where condition this statement may/will result in
a
table scan, while when using an IN Predicate with multiple listed Host
variables the optimizer can use an index.

Betreff: SQL select using where in

I have a SQL clause embedded in a RPG program. The statement inserts
records directly into a file. In the where clause, I have an 'in'
statement using a variable:

Where pypmtt in :CheckType

using debug the value of checktype = ('CK', 'BT'). This inserts 0 records.
If I hardcode and replace checktype with ('CK', 'BT'), the program inserts
the the correct records. There are other variables in the select statement
that are not causing issues.
What am I doing wrong?
