Re: Ability to see Embedded SQL Select Statement

And Rob, if you are using a recent version of RDi, and your source member is an SQLRPGLE type, you can select the statement and go to the Source menu - there's and item there to "Launch Run SQL Scripts".

Once in there, you can use CREATE VARIABLE statements to set values for your various host variables - you have to take the colons out of the statement but can use the same names, at least I've been able to.

This is a really really very cool feature!!

Hi Kim, I'm not sure if this helps or I misunderstood your requirement.

Personally, when I'm modifying a large sql statement I copy the statement into RunSql scripts and modify the sql there.  That will tell me right away if I have formatting/syntax  errors and also I can confirm that  I am getting the results I'm expecting.

HTH,

Hi everyone,

The program that I currently updating contains the following SQL statement.

exec sql
   DECLARE housesBefore CURSOR for

            ALBFCD,
            ALBGCD,
            ALBKCD,
            ALBLTX,
            ALBMTX,
            ALBNTX
       FROM homrtv01
       WHERE ((upper(ALBFCD) < :@AddrLoc) or
             (upper(ALBFCD) = :@AddrLoc and
             upper(ALBGCD) < :@Fraction) or
             (upper(ALBFCD) = :@AddrLoc and
             upper(ALBGCD) = :@Fraction and
             upper(ALBKCD) <= :@Apartment)) and
             upper(ALBHCD) = :@PreDirect and
             upper(ALBITX) like '%' || trim(:@StrWord1) || '%' and
             upper(ALBITX) like '%' || trim(:@StrWord2) || '%' and
             upper(ALBITX) like '%' || trim(:@StrWord3) || '%' and
             upper(ALBITX) like '%' || trim(:@StrWord4) || '%' and
             upper(ALBITX) like '%' || trim(:@StrWord5) || '%' and
             upper(ALBJTX) = :@City and
             upper(ALBICD) = :@State and
             ALBTST = ' '
       ORDER BY upper(ALBFCD) desc,
                upper(ALBGCD) desc,
                upper(ALBKCD) desc;


exec sql open housesBefore;

dou sqlstt <> '00000';

   exec sql
     fetch housesBefore into :houseData;

   if sqlstt = '00000';


The SQL statement works correctly, but I need to add additional selection criteria information into it but I've been encountering issues with the formatting of the select statement and was wondering if there is a way through debug to see the actual SQL statement that is being created so that I can determine where the formatting problem is so that I can fix it.

I'm using STRDBG command to view the variables in the program.


I've worked on SQLRPGLE programs where I've build the select statement from scratch and then declared it to a cursor. For example:
Prepare sel from :selectStmt
Declare c1 cursor for sel


With this method I was able to debug my SQL statement that was built by using the EVAL on the selectStmt variable.

Any help on how to display the select statement that is being built without having to update the current program to move the select builds into a variable would be appreciated.

Thank you
