Re: Embedded sql how to test for no lines

Thanks for the help.
Hadn't realised that the count function would not (normally) have returned
sqlcode 100 if the count was 0.

Also, while testing, I did not realise that the host variables could be
populated even when sqlcode indicates an error.
Ex, select distinct mycode into :myvar etc, where more than 1 line is
returned.

Hi,

what's the "right" way of doing this after execution of the sql statement?

Use sql count() and check for 0?
Get the condition of the first line that doesn't satisfy the search
criteria and check that?
Ignore all the host variables and check for sqlcode = 100?

thanks
