Re: A Mystery SQL Problem

THis is what I would do in full-on debugging mode:

1. Stop the program before executing the last 2 sql statements.

2. STRSQL

3. Execute: Delete from MMNYOVRP

4. Execute: SELECT count(*)
FROM ahpovrp
WHERE ROEFDT = (put in you year value here)

5. Write down the number

6. Execute: INSERT INTO MMNYOVRP
(SELECT * FROM ahpovrp
WHERE ROEFDT = (put in you year value here)
ORDER BY rocomp, rostcd, roplan, robenp)

7. If the number of inserted records does not match the count you wrote
down in step #5 - call IBM.

Charles,

This is the actual code, the last 2 statements executed by the program before exiting. There are no other statements between any. The process to add records to the ahpovrp file are irrelevant. There are no duplicate in the source file.

Thanks,

Is this the actual code? Or a cut down version?

Assuming cut down, what happens between the count and the insert?

What process and when are the records added to ahpovrp?

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.
