Getting SQLCODE -518, while running EXECUTE Statement after PREPARE Statement in COBOL

COBOL400Praveen — Sat, 26 May 2012 13:38:49 +0000

I am executing a dynamic SELECT query (No CURSOR- Normal SELECT)

WS-STRING - SELECT MEMBNO FROM ENBMAS WHERE MEMBNO = “3535″

EXEC SQL PREPARE SQLSELX FROM :WS-STRING END-EXEC

SQLCODE = 0

EXEC SQL EXECUTE SQLSELX END-EXEC

SQLCODE = -518 (THE EXECUTE STATEMENT DOES NOT IDENTIFY A VALID PREPARED STATEMENT)

Please Help me out.. if I have done anything wrong

AS400 – SQLRPGLE

Hi,

We are moving Values to Database Fields using Embedded SQL Concept. In Embedded SQL, We can decide the Variable Names dynamically. Is it possible with Display File? why?

Dynamic SQL query

Ayisha — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 17:59:31 +0000

Hi! I’m making an application in vb.net using MS Access as DB.. Nw in this, i want to do some complex stuff, that is dynamically making sql queries or in other words, changing the where clause according to user preference.
The scenario let’s say is…in a form the user can search for records thru 1) university name or 2) between 2 dates 3) through application ids… They can do each of this individualy or 1 n 2 together or 1 n 3 etc. Now instead of writing the sql query for each combination, do you think there is a way i can put in a flag value n get wateva the user wants to search frm n pass that to the where clause?
Thank you so much!

SP Dynamic SQL with LIKE Operator

Eabouzeid — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 12:38:25 +0000

Hi. I want to create a stored procedure whereby the variable comes after the LIKE operator. For example, the code would look something like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE SPFIND
@VARIABLE1 VARCHAR
SELECT *
FROM TABLE1
WHERE FIELD1 LIKE ‘%@VARIABLE1%’
Then to execute the procedure,
EXEC SPFIND ‘VARIABLENAME’
I can’t get this to work using the LIKE operator. I would appreciate any help.

dynamic temporary table variable usage

PaminBuckeyeLand — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 19:53:42 +0000

We have an sqr (running against a MS SQL Server DB), that references a dynamic temporary table variable in several begin-sql and begin-select statements. I am getting a syntax error in one begin-select statement where I can’t resolve the problem. It occurs after the INNER JOIN on the [$Temp_Final_IDlist] temp table. It appears as if SQR doesn’t see the replacement value for [$Temp_Final_IDlist].
I’ve already made sure that the variable is not empty.
Is there a limit in SQR on how many dynamic variables can be used in one program?

code:
Cursor #28:
SQL = SELECT SEV_21A.ID,
SEV_21A.HouseHoldKey,
SEV_21A.HouseHoldCombineFlag,

SQL order by Issue

Rohit3312 — Sat, 02 May 2009 16:44:32 +0000

Please help me write this.
I need a SQL where the order by is done based on a variable passed to the query.SELECT *
FROM (SELECT distinct gl.group_id,
gl.group_name,
gl.group_description,
gl.status_code,
gl.member_count,
(SELECT grpp.group_name
FROM test_group_relationship grel JOIN test_group grpp
ON grel.parent_group_id = grpp.group_id
WHERE grel.child_group_id = gl.group_id
) AS parent_group_name,
gl.group_name_key,
gl.group_description_key
FROM test_group AS gl
WHERE gl.group_org_id = ’3909′
AND (gl.group_name_key LIKE ‘%GROUP%’)
) AS data_set
ORDER BY DECODE(:sort_key,
‘name’, ‘constant’,
‘description’, group_description_key,
‘memberCount’, LPAD(member_count, 4),
‘status’, LPAD(status_code, 4),
‘parentGroupName’, parent_group_name
)NULLS FIRST,
UPPER(SUBSTR(group_name, 1, 1)),
SUBSTR(group_name, 1, 1) DESC,
UPPER(group_name),
group_name DESC,
group_name_key,
;

When,sort_key :=’name’.As we can see it evaluates to a constant and then the remaining columns in the ORDER BY clause.

Now,when variable sort_key:= ‘description’ or ‘memberCount’….each of the values, then the ORDER BY LOGIC is different for each of them.

n brief,each of the options that the sort_key variable gets-the ORDER BY logic is different and i have to implement it in the same SQL only now.

SQL – Pass the result of the first query as the second query select column name

Chris123 — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 11:07:44 +0000

I want to pass the result of a sql query as the column name in another query eg. (note there will be a single result for the first query)

SELECT
CASE
WHEN fld_type1 = ‘A’ THEN ‘VAL_ALPHA1′
WHEN fld_type1 = ‘D’ THEN ‘VAL_DATE1′
ELSE ‘VAL_NUM1′
END AS FIELDNAME
FROM TABLE1

I want the result of the first query to pass to the second query as the select column name

SELECT <1st Query Result>
FROM TABLE2
WHERE ID = 8

Find out what is in dbms_sql cursor

Darryn — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:54:00 +0000

I am trying to put in a 5500 character query into dynamic sql, and then use the Oracle dbms_sql function to execute the sql. However, there is an error in the sql statement that is being generated, but the error message doesn’t help me identify where the error is, as it pertains to the dynamic sql (i.e. error at line nn).

Is there a way for me to get the value of the statement held in the cursor, so that I can see where the problem is? I have tried the dbms_output.put(statement), but that returns an error saying that it is limited to 255 bytes per line.

Thanks,
Darryn

How do I populate an SQL table created on the fly in RPGLE?

SteveFletcher — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 04:20:47 +0000

I am writing a report program where I create a table that is then converted to an Excel spreadsheet using SQL2JXL. I am able to dynamically create a table with Execute Immediate but I have been unable to populate it. The problem is the table name is stored in a variable within the program and I can’t figure out how to get Insert Into to allow me to pass the table name as a variable to put the data into that table.

Any ideas? Thanks.
