Charles,

Would be nice if you could use SELECT INTO along with FETCH FIRST XX
ROWS...

After getting the count (select count(*) into :resultCount from...), and declaring and opening a cursor, I can successfully use

exec sql
fetch MyCursor for :resultCount rows
into :ArrayDS;

But there apparently are no shorter shortcuts.

Subject: Re: Loading arrayDS from sql select into statement?

Always a good idea to fact check anything on the net...

The manual says: "The SELECT INTO statement produces a result table
consisting of at most one row, and assigns the values in that row to
variables."

SELECT INTO :MYDS is a commoning recommended solution. But there's no
array there.

Would be nice if you could use SELECT INTO along with FETCH FIRST XX
ROWS...

Thanks Alan.
So the people on this list that have suggested to others that they use
a "select into :arrayDS" have never actually tried that?
My faith has been shaken.
