Hi All,
My requirement is to fetch rows from a table having low vaules for a particular field in the table. I tried the below sample query
| Quote: |
select empno
from employee
where remarks = x'00' |
But its not fetching those rows which contains low values in the remarks field.
The datatype of remarks field is char(70).
Please correct me where i am doing a mistake. Thanks |

In a cobol program:
| Code: |
01 WS-REMARKS PIC X(70).
MOVE LOW-VALUES TO WS-REMARKS
SELECT EMPNO
FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE REMARKS = :WS-REMARKS |

Thanks Marso.
But i am executing the query using spufi. Is there any way to use low values directly in the query? |

CHAR(x'00',70) would not work. The result is a 70 byte field in which the first byte is x'00' and all remaining bytes are spaces. According to the manual:
If the length of string-expression ( in this case, x'00' ) is less than the length attribute of the result ( in this case, 70 ), the result is padded with blanks to the length of the result.
Instead, try:
| Code: |
| CHAR(REPEAT(X'00',70)) |
