You cannot do a Select Into with a dynamic SQL statement. You must declare a cursor, Prepare the statement, open the cursor and fetch the result and close the cursor.

You might be better to use an Alias. .

Hi Tim

Because the word
count
is a reserved word (I think)
You will need to change the stand alone field - count - to a different

The program log says COUNT is not defined or usable. Any idea's?

Dcl-s stmt char(100) ;
Dcl-s x char(2) inz('10') ;
Dcl-s count zoned(5) ;
Dcl-s thefile char(10);

thefile = ('co' + x);

stmt = 'select count(*) into :count' +
' from ' + %trim(thefile) ;

exec sql execute immediate :stmt ;

if count > 0 ;
endif ;
