Re: How do I do a SQL select into a data structure when specifying fields?

I syspect you'll need to use FETCH - here is a statement from the Embedded
SQL Programming manual - ILE RPG chapter -

Blocked FETCH and blocked INSERT are the only SQL statements that allow a
data structure with the DIM keyword

I am reading data from a file into a data structure.

T_data ds qualified dim(100)
Fielda like(fielda)
Fieldb like(fieldb)
Fieldc like(fieldc)

Select fielda, fieldb, fieldc into :T_data

From myTable;

Compilers tells me SL0312 T_data is not defined or usable.

What am I doing wrong or how would I do this?

I do not want to read 1 record at a time.

Thanks
