It seems to me you have to prepare the SQL Statement each time you run your
procedure and do not run the same statement multiple times with different
parameters.
Why to work in this situation with parameter markers at all?
Since you are using dynamic SQL, why not just including the variable values
in the SQL string?

Subject: Opening a cursor with a variable number of parameter markers...

Happy New Year to all.

I need to open a cursor but the number of parameter markers is not known
until run time.
I'm doing this right now with a SELECT statement in RPG but wondering if
this can be softcoded in some way. What I have is...

// We now need to open the statsCursor with the correct number of parameter
markers
Select;
When fileCount = 1;
Exec sql
OPEN statsCursor USING :fromTs, :toTs;
When fileCount = 2;
Exec sql
OPEN statsCursor USING :fromTs, :toTs, :fromTs, :toTs;
When fileCount = 3;
Exec sql
OPEN statsCursor USING :fromTs, :toTs, :fromTs, :toTs, :fromTs,
:toTs;
Endsl;

Currently this is coded for 3 files, but this can easily be 10 or more files
at run time.

Do I have any other options for OPENing the cursor?

Thanks,

Rob
