I am inserting a row in to the DB2 table in one para and next My requirement is to UPDATE that same row I have inserted.

Is this possible? Because with out completing the JOb only we are trying to update that row.
Please suggest.

Hi Mahi,

I think it is possible. First insert record in table and store all data that is needed for fetching that inserted record in working storage. In next para using Working storage values write a select querry WITH UR option and update that row.

WITH UR ---> With Uncommited Read
A query defined with uncommitted read will read every matching row, including those that
have not yet been committed.

Mahi,

I am old and slow (thickheaded) and as such see this as a simple expansion of your program/Stored Procedure.

1st: why not insert the correct row to begin with?

2nd: UPDATEing a row that you have INSERTed is no different than UPDATEing any row.

you build the WHERE clause (host variable values) to insure you only update the row in question
you populate the appropriate host variables with NEW data with which you want to modifiy the row, in your SET clause.

Well, I haven't tried this but still I think its possible.

What I would suggest is try using explicit 'Commit' command after you insert the row. Then try accessing the newly inserted row. May be this helps.

One thing is for sure that you won't be able to access the newly inserted row unless you commit it in the table.

Let me know if this works or if anyone has some comments on my view. I could be wrong as I haven't tried it. I have just put a logical view on the problem.

Thanks,

Hi Hikaps14,

you can UPDATE a row just INSERTed
without COMMIT
without using WITH UR.

It is in your logical unit of work (LUW).

even though the OP should just modify his logic
so that he INSERTs the row with proper data,

he can immediately UPDATE the row, without WITH UR.
no need to COMMIT anything.

please, try testing before suggesting.

You can do it if you give a commit command explicitly after insert.
So that you will be able to execute it.
