Hmm, your order by uses substr....  I'd probably change this to ORDER BY 1, 
which refers to the first column in the result set....  I know that order by 
works with ordinal values.....  I didn't think you could do expressions in the 
order by clause.....

           AND SUBSTR(SAEXPO,1,4) >= ' 100'

SQL0104 Token SUBSTR was not valid. Valid tokens: ) ,

         ORDER BY SUBSTR(SAEXPO,1,4);

 

 

The above is strange and happens fairly regularly.  The statement is not
in error and executes just fine.  How come?

Thanks

The above works if I change it to fixed form.  Obviously another RPG/SQL
problem.  Is it just me or is IBM having a lot of issues with embedded
SQL and they have spilled over into RSE?
