Adding "Fetch First Row only" at the end of the SELECT-Statement will also
work if there are multiple rows.

Betreff: RE: Sqlcod question

The code below would fail if there are multiple matching records. EXISTS
should be used to check on data existence.

Not sure if this would be of any benefit, but if I am understanding
correctly what you are trying to achieve, I like to do the following;

D Found s n inz('0')

Found=*off;
EXEC SQL
Select '1' into :Found
from rates
where opcode =:zcode;
if SQLCOD<000;
"WHAT'S THE PROBLEM"
endif;
// Found represents a positive match to the sql request if Found;
"DO SOMETHING HERE"
endif;

Cheers.
Matt.

You have to FETCH the resulting dataset into a variable to see if the SQL
returned any data.

I have the following embedded code:

Exec SQL
Declare C1 cursor for
Select * from rates
Where opcode =:zcode;
Exec SQL open C1;

Now I know for a fact that there will not be a match right now meaning that
the value of zcode is not in the file.....so why does Sqlcod return all
zeros?
