A temporary table is worse, because you need some time to write the
information.
Instead of a temporary table I'd generate an SQL view, which is based on a
select statement, but does not include any data.
An SQL View is some kind of logical file and can be used (with SQL) and can
be used like an table or physical file.

Create View YourSchema/YourView
As (Select ..... );

Betreff: RE: Using like on a result string

Thank you both Carel and John.
Seems to be pretty fast too.
Just wondering if creating a table when the program loads in qtemp and then
doing the likes would be faster?
If so how would I create a temp table, and then do the searches later in the
program?
Hopefully I'll find an answer before I get any responses.

Thanks again,

Craig

Subject: RE: Using like on a result string

I would build it something like this (syntax may not be 100% as I "coding in
email")

With data as (
Select
trim(a.ItmNum)||'|'||
Trim(ItmDsc)||'|'||
Trim(Vendor)||'|'||
Trim(VnCode)||'|'||
Trim(VnItmD)||'|'||
Trim(CsDmti)||'|'||
Trim(ItmSeq)||'|'||
Trim(ItmSq2)||'|'||
Trim(ItmUpc)||'|'||
coalesce(trim(It60Ds),'-----')
name, a.ItmNum
FROM ItmMst a left Outer Join ItmAds b On a.ItmNum = b.ItmNum
)
Select
Name, itmnum from data
Where name like '%string%'

Subject: Using like on a result string

I need to search multiple fields from 2 joined files. (there may not be a
record in 2nd file)

I am concatenating all the fields together and separating them with a
delimiter of | eg.

Is there a way to do a Like '%string%' on the result or do I have to get the
string and then do a %scan on the string after it is fetched.

I may have more than one string to like or %scan on. There are about 100k
records in the file.



dcl-ds DATA;

ItmString char(434) pos(1);

ItmNum char(20) pos(435);

end-ds;



I'm thinking it would be faster if the SQL handled it, but I may be wrong.



Select

trim(a.ItmNum)||'|'||

Trim(ItmDsc)||'|'||

Trim(Vendor)||'|'||

Trim(VnCode)||'|'||

Trim(VnItmD)||'|'||

Trim(CsDmti)||'|'||

Trim(ItmSeq)||'|'||

Trim(ItmSq2)||'|'||

Trim(ItmUpc)||'|'||

coalesce(trim(It60Ds),'-----')

name, a.ItmNum

FROM ItmMst a left Outer Join ItmAds b

On a.ItmNum = b.ItmNum


order by a.itmnum,b.itmnum



Thank you,



Craig
