I think this is what you want.
Add this to the end of your SQL:
Fetch First 100 Rows Only

Subject: SQL: how to limit rows
I often make smaller versions of a file for testing.
Using CPYF, it is easy as follows:
CPYF FROMFILE(FILEIN) TOFILE(FILEOUT) NBRRCDS(100)
I would like to do the equivalent in SQL.
Here is my lame attempt and the returned error.
Is this possible to accomplish with SQL?
create table qtemp/sqltemp1 as (
(select rrn(a) as XCM_RRN
from client a where count(*) < 100) with data')
Use of function COUNT not valid. <-----------OS error returned
I would prefer NOT to use RRN or a key as this would change for each file (whereas NBRRCDS(100) in CPYF will work for any file with no changes).
Thanks
