Dave,

Here is an example of an SQL statement that has a mix of hard coded and variable values. The host variables are always preceded by a colon ':'.

Exec SQL
select substr(sxdata,1,32) into :hld_pcdesc
from sycdx
where sxcomp = 'I' and
sxnem = 'PC' and
sxrgn = '*' and
substr(sxcde,1,2) = :hld_pc;

OK I’m on 7.3 now and I still don’t know how to define a host variable without hard coding it.
Any advice ?

Thanks
