That looks great. So, no declaring, opening and closing cursors? That is
pretty neat.

No, if you are doing single I/O using into, you currently do not have to
use a cursor. You only need a cursor for reading multiple records. My
previous example was incorrect. It should have been:
 
Exec Sql Select ItemNumber, ItemDescription Into :dsItem From ItemFile
Where
ItemNumber = :Item;
 
Instead of 
 
/Exec Sql
   Select ItemNumber, ItemDescription 
     Into :dsItem
     From ItemFile
     Where ItemNumber = :Item
/End-Exec
 
And thanks Rob. No slash. Great. Forgot that.
