A problem in embedded SQL

I am working on a program that is supposed to return a data element when the user requests it is using two parameters.

The problem is in the RPGLE (running under 7.1) the sql statement returns EndOfData when I attempt to use the program with parameter that I know is there. But if I take the sql statement and use interactive sql, it works and selects the correct record.

I don't understand what the difference is between the two methods.

The sql statement is:

SELECT ipol#
FROM commcmtp
join commitmp on ccomp=icomp
and ipol# = cpol#
and cseq = iseq
and iccode like 'EAPP%'
and crecid = 1
and ccomm like '%81925B%'

In the RPGLE, it is a prepared statement that is okayed by the prepare statement. It is okayed by the open statement. But the fetch statement returns EndOfData.

Taking the same sql statement and executing it in interactive sql, it works properly and returns the expected data element.

Can anyone give me a clue why it doesn't work in RPGLE?
