Andy,

I tried the following and it works for me:

$CCN = 'A10000'
SQL
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO :#VAR FROM ITEM_CCN
WHERE CCN = :$CCN;
END;
ENDSQL

The #VAR returns the correct value

:rolleyes:

Hi Andy,

We use v5.5 and our SELECT..INTO..WHERE statements work fine. The issue you are experiencing sounds like v4.6 does not handle these type of SQL statements correctly. If I cast my mind back (way back) to my v4.6 days, I recall we had to use the solution that Martin suggested earlier in his post. Its not hard to implement, it works and it sure beats having to sequentially increment a counter variable in ARNE logic, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of using a RDBMS anyway.

Rgds,
Jeff.

Yes...but can Andy get it working? ;)

And you did have to hardcode the $CCN value...or does the value just have to be delimited by "'" in v4.6? :rolleyes:

Hi

The different example of it working or not, maybe also identify the exact versions of Pro-IV, ORACLE, OS, etc., that you are used, as Jeff mentioned it could (probalby) be platform related.

Jeff how are thing with you, send on an e-mail

Got It ;)

It turn out it was an error on placement of the SQL code. As I originally stated, I had a LU with an incremental counter that counted the records returned from a standard SQL query...that worked fine. So, I placed the new SQL query, with the INTO statement, in the same Default Logic of the LU as the original Sql query was...the new query never worked there and I have a pile of hair on the floor here to prove as testament :rolleyes: .

When I moved the SQL query to After Field Logic, of the field that called the counting LU in the first place, it worked like a charm...lightning quick, too.


Thanks All. :D

Well, half of them anyway. The other half are either injured or suspended. As Nelson (Munz, not the one with the big column) would say, "Ha-Ha".

Quick question -- Does this work with SQL Server or just with Oracle? I can't get it to work with SQL Server and 5.5. Thanks. Mark Dexter
