Re: Embedded SQL Delete statement is not work (Sue Romano)

May I offer the use of "WHERE CURRENT OF cursor-name"? This is great when using a cursor with the DELETE - then your statement becomes this -

Delete from fromfile Df where current of yourcursor

I think I have to admit, I learned about this in certainly no more than the last 5 years.

Not that there is a lot of overhead with retrieving the RRN - it just isn't standard SQL, it's an IBM i-specific extension.

Cheers
Vern

When deleting records in sql, it’s a good idea to retrieve the RRN when reading

Then when you need to delete that record delete using the rrn

Select rrn(Df), Df.* from fromfile Df into :rrn, field or data structure

Delete from fromfile Df where rrn(Df) = :rrn
