DSNH080I-error: UNACCEPTABLE SQL STATEMENT

Hi,

I'm very new with mainframe and appreciate all the help I can get.

In Working-storage section,

01 WS-SQL PIC X(400) VALUE SPACES.

01 WS-SQL-STR.
49 WS-SQL-LEN PIC 9(4) USAGE BINARY.
49 WS-SQL-TXT PIC X(400).

In Procedure division,

... A SELECT stmt is being strung into WS-SQL bases on a
conditional stmt
...
MOVE WS-SQL TO WS-SQL-TXT.

EXEC SQL
PREPARE STRSQL FROM :WS-SQL-STR
END-EXEC.

EXEC SQL
DECLARE ATTCUR CURSOR FOR STRSQL
END-EXEC.

EXEC SQL
OPEN ATTCUR
END-EXEC.

This is the error I got when compiling:

DSNH312I E DSNHSMUD LINE 2051 COL 36 UNDEFINED OR UNUSABLE
HOST VARIABLE "WS-SQL-STR"
DSNH080I E DSNHSM3D LINE 2051 COL 36 STRING VARIABLE
"WS-SQL-STR" IS NOT "VARCHAR" TYPE

I also tried

EXEC SQL
PREPARE STRSQL FROM :WS-SQL-TXT
END-EXEC.

And got:
DSNH080I E DSNHSM3D LINE 2051 COL 36 STRING VARIABLE
"WS-SQL-TXT" IS NOT "VARCHAR" TYPE

I read somewhere that I need to declare the host variable WS-SQL-STR
within a
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC and
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC.

but it gave me an error

DSNH084I W DSNHLEXC LINE 831 COL 22 UNACCEPTABLE SQL STATEMENT
DSNH084I W DSNHLEXC LINE 835 COL 22 UNACCEPTABLE SQL STATEMENT

It would be a great help if you can help me in this senario........

Thanks,
Baskaran

Hi Baskar,

In ur Move statemnt

MOVE WS-SQL TO WS-SQL-TXT.

But u have declared a varchar variable WS-SQL-STR. under that only u have WS-SQL-TXT. Since WS-SQL-STR is a varchar variable u should use the move stmt as

MOVE WS-SQL TO WS-SQL-STR.

Thanks
