Re: Return count of records from SQL select

I must be ready for the weekend, as I can't seem to remember how to do
this
in RPG.

I need to know ONLY the number of rows that would be returned from an
SQL
select statement. I don't need to know anything about the rows
themselves. The decision I need to make is based on whether the number
of
rows from the select statement is zero or greater than zero.


For static SQL, you can use SELECT INTO:

Exec select count(*) as aCount into :TheCount from File1;
