Hi tim
You can't do it this way - host variables are for values, not
expressions - so you would have to specify the column name in the
statement, not as part of a string - host variables are not for
substitution into the statement.
Here's how it would look with a host variable:
testvalue = 100
exec sql SELEC count(*)
into :cnt
FROM claims
where number = :testvalue
This is a better performer than this option - put the entire statement
into a character variable and prepare a statement from that variable -
then execute it. I don't want to make an example of that here, too easy
to mislead you.
