Re: How Come

Hi Bill, Vern,

Ok so I tried this out using v7.0 (since it includes improved SQL support
:-) )  with a V5R4M0 iSeries  and I found that as long as the line
IN('1250','1260','1450','1460','2050','2060','2450','2460')
was between columns 8 and 80, I didn't see the syntax error.

So then I went to v6.0.1 with RSE 6.0.1.3 installed, and had no problem
there either

thanks,

Bill - does it EVER run without the error? Someone else mentioned the
order by using an expression - I don't believe it is supported,
either - order by has to work against the result set, and that means
you need column names of that result set - or the ordinals.

I think!

         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?
