You cannot do a dynamic select like that.
Dynamic selects are for cursors.
You need to define a cursor and fetch the cursor result into your field.
'Execute immediate' does not return data it updates/deletes/drops/inserts etc.

Subject: My Dynamic SQL statement is not working
The program log says COUNT is not defined or usable. Any idea's?
Dcl-s stmt char(100) ;
Dcl-s x char(2) inz('10') ;
Dcl-s count zoned(5) ;
Dcl-s thefile char(10);
thefile = ('co' + x);
stmt = 'select count(*) into :count' +
' from ' + %trim(thefile) ;
exec sql execute immediate :stmt ;
if count > 0 ;
endif ;
Thank You
