Re: Read file in RPG using embedded SQL, and update a field in same file.

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

The question I would ask is how many records are you processing and how
many are you expecting to update. If the number you are updating is large,
what you have will work.

If that number is small, this is very inefficent. You are putting a lock on
every record and maybe only processing a few. If a small subset is being
updated, it would be better to read into an array for processing and then
issue update only for those that need to updated. If this is one time, it
may not matter unless you are talking a lot of records.

Also, do you need the entire table. You should only put in what you need.
