Re: Embedded SQL Select Into

Still can't get that external data structure to work. Now I'm trying this:

D WkMblSesP E DS Dim(1000)
D Qualified
D ExtName(MBLSESP)

Exec SQL
Declare C1 Cursor For
Select * From MblSesp
Where Session_End is null;

Exec SQL
Fetch C1 For 1000 Rows
Into :WkMblSesP;
SQL5011: Position 20 Host structure array WKMBLSESP not defined or not
usable.

I'm thinking that Fetch and external data structures don't work together.

You need a cursor. Within a cursor you can do a multiple row fetch:

D MyArrDS DS Dim(100)
D Fld1 10A
D Fld2 10I 0

/Free
Exec SQL Declare CsrC01 Cursor For
SELECT ....;

Exec SQL Open CsrC01;

Exec SQL Fetch From CsrC01For 100 Rows into :MyArrDS;

Note that your DS can be defined as a datastructure array - see post by
Barbara Morris about 4-6 weeks past.

Thank you Alan...

You cannot do an array using into. Wish we could. You must define a
cursor, open and then do a fetch into for x rows and then close cursor.

Also, you are going to have to have a data structure to read into.

Sigh...so I'm trying this:

Exec SQL
Select Session_Id Into :WkSession_ID
From MblSesP
Where Session_End is null;

I've defined Wk_Session_ID as:

D WkSession_ID S 128
D Dim(1000)

Note: I've also tried to define it as a data structure array (or
thought

I

did). I get an SQL0312 error - variable not found or unusable.

The definition of Session_ID (from DSPFFD) is:

SESSION_ID CHAR 128 130 43 Both

SESSION_ID

Variable length field -- Allocated length : None
Default value . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : None
Coded Character Set Identifier . . . . . : 37

Two questions: What am I doing wrong, and why does SQL hate me?

Thanks!
