Yes, well, I'm not too sure that you will get too many answers posting a SQL question in the DFSORT forum.

I dont think so, you can use this kind of operators in E-SQL. I'm quite sure like this will end in error.

. Its NOT pipe operator.
This is PIPE operator(||) |

Not entirely true, at one site that I worked at, the exclamation mark was the valid PIPE operator. |

what happened when You tried
You do not show any column name, just host variables
it would be better to carry on the computations on host varables outside the query
| Code: |
if ws1 !! ws2 > ws3 then ,
issue the query |

the problem here is, the sql is something like below which runs in qmf well but giving sqlcode 100 in a cobol db2 code where i need to code it.
So i thought that rest of the compulation i will do outside of this sql and store in a host variable and use it in the below sql as i have to compare it with a column value. Using too much fuctions also give performamce problem and it better to avoid it. and so i am looking for a exact syntax or want to know if i can use it.
| Code: |
AND SUBSTR(CHAR(CURRENT DATE),1,4) || '-' ||
SUBSTR(CHAR(B.RNEWAL_DT),6,2) || '-' ||
SUBSTR(CHAR(B.RNEWAL_DT),9,2)
BETWEEN CHAR(CURRENT DATE + 7 DAYS)
AND CHAR(CURRENT DATE + 9 DAYS) |

I can understand why the TS did not bother to refer to a manual,
his vocabulary is so poor he could not find the answer, even if he looked.
2.21.3 With the concatenation operator
Note 12 (12) from above link.
Besides, a pipe character is ONE vertical Bar.......... |

the where clause is sh*t
and wrong for current_date between 23/dec thru 31/dec
depending on the case
I would recommend something like this :
| Code: |
with dts (d) as
(select current_date + 7 days from sysibm.sysdummy1
union all
select current_date + 8 days from sysibm.sysdummy1
union all
select current_date + 9 days from sysibm.sysdummy1
union all
select d - 1 year from dts
where d > current_date - 30 years)
select * from TAB1 B
, dts
where b.rnewal_dt = dts.d
|
or
| Code: |
with dts (d) as
(select current_date + 7 days from sysibm.sysdummy1
union all
select current_date + 8 days from sysibm.sysdummy1
union all
select current_date + 9 days from sysibm.sysdummy1
union all
select d - 1 year from dts
where d > current_date - 30 years)
select * from TAB1 B
where b.rnewal_dt in (select d from dts) |
but there might be a problem with 29/feb |
