Instead of using SELECT you use VALUES.
Often used for displaying system registers.
values current date
instead of
select current date from sysibm.sysdummy1

But my suggestion to display one with VALUES displayed my ignorance of sql variables. I just discovered they are only a transitional value stored in memory in a service program.
