Dan,
COUNT gives me the correct number. The number of records that end up in the file is greater. I don't think if COUNT were a reserved word it would compile or the : would invalidate it as a reserved word.
Thanks,
Marvin

A real WAG: Try changing the "count" variable to another name, like counteffyear. Just wondering if "count" is reserved.

I have a real mystery. I am having problems with an SQL INSERT.
I am performing maintenance on a file and then extracting from that
file and inserting the new records into another file. Here is the code:
exec sql
(SELECT count(*) into :count
FROM ahpovrp
WHERE ROEFDT = :effective_year);
exec sql
INSERT INTO MMNYOVRP
(SELECT * FROM ahpovrp
WHERE ROEFDT = :effective_year
ORDER BY rocomp, rostcd, roplan, robenp);
When I execute the first SQL statement, COUNT is 100; but when the
second statement the file MMNYOVRP contains 140 records.
I don't understand how this can be. Any ideas?
Commitment control is off. The file I extract from is closed at this point.
