Maybe you are getting this error because your assigning the result of the
query to a host variable and the result is too large to be returned in this
variable.

The system allows for a 32740 length statement. I admit to coding a 10K
size statement but nothing that comes close to the max. It would be nice
to know more about the "variable truncated" error, I could not find a
standard message with that phrase.

DCL-S Stmtsql Varchar( 32740 );
DCL-S Wherestmt Varchar( 8000 );
DCL-S Filter Char(1) INZ('A');

Stmtsql = 'select * from MYTABLE';
If Filter > ' ';
If %LEN( Wherestmt) > 0;
Wherestmt += ' And ';
Endif;
Wherestmt += 'FILTER = ''?'';
Endif;

Stmtsql += ' ' +Wherestmt;

Exec sql prepare PREP_SQL from :Stmtsql; If Sqlstate <> '00000';
// Do some error routine
Endif;

exec sql declare MYCURSOR for PREP_SQL;

exec sql open MYCURSOR using :Filter;
If Sqlstate <> '00000';
// Do some error routine
Endif;

etc...

Thanks, Matt

Is there a "trick" to programming a long complex (6000 character) SQL
statement in RPG?

We keep getting a "variable truncated" error message.
