SQLCODE -514 says it all: "THE CURSOR cursor-name IS NOT IN A PREPARED STATE"

1. You cannot perform a single row SELECT when using dynamic SQL. You must use a cursor.

2. The cursor must be prepared before it is opened.

Please refer to Squeezing the Most Out of Dynamic SQL. Look at chapter 3.7 in PDF file for examples.

Hi Marso

Thanks for your help, can you please check the following code

WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
EXEC SQL
INCLUDE SQLCA
END-EXEC.
EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLDA END-EXEC.
01 DSTRING.
49 VAR-LEN PIC S9(4) COMP VALUE 40.
49 VAR-TEXT PIC X(40).
01 BSTRING.
02 FILLER PIC X(32) VALUE "SELECT TRANS_DATE FROM GLIF_VIEW"
02 STMTTEXT PIC X(8).
===================
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
0001-MAIN.
EXEC SQL DECLARE C1 CURSOR FOR STMT END-EXEC.
MOVE BSTRING TO DSTRING.
EXEC SQL PREPARE STMT FROM :DSTRING END-EXEC.
EXEC SQL
OPEN C1
END-EXEC.
EXEC SQL
FETCH C1 INTO
:TRANS-DATE
END-EXEC.
...

Hello,

It works better if you post the "real" code. . .

Why is the sqlcode not checked after every sql statement?

Hi Dick

As you have toled, I 've checked the SQL code after every SQL statment,
so the SQL code after prepare is 311
SQLCODE -311, Error: THE LENGTH OF INPUT HOST VARIABLE NUMBER IS NEGATIVE OR GREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM
But I don't know what dose it mean when it says MAXIMUM.
also this is a piece of real code which I've sent.

Thanks[/code][/quote]

Kalhor, Instead of moving moving BSTRING TO DSTRING..move "SELECT TRANS_DATE FROM GLIF_VIEW" to VAR-TEXT.

Hello,

For future topics. . .

Then this should have been in the post. Copy/paste is far better than picking and choosing some parts of the info to type in with different names, missing code, etc.

One you have an error, it is best to solve that error rather than letting the code and trying to diagnose something that fails later in the code due to the already known error. As far as getting help from the forum, we can't do much if the real/first error is not the one posted. It just wastes time until the actual problem is posted and resolved.

Hi Dick.

I used your advice of checking SQL code after every SQL statement and it was the key to reach -311 SQL code and solve the problem. but I prefer SQL code 514 which reminds me to thank you 514 times.

Regards,
Kalhor
