Hi
I have a requirement to select some tables and get the count of the row for a certain timeline dynamically in a cobol program
Ex :
Select count(*) from :WS-TABLE-NME
where date < current_date
My workshop does not allow me to use dynamic sql. Please suggest me any other way possible.
Regards

| Put static queries for all the tables in one cobol program... or you can put in different cobol programs too... |

| There are more than 100 tables to be queried and the count can increase over a period of time. |

| So, how did those incompetent morons you work for come to give you a requirement and simultaneously forbid you to use the means of fulfilling it? |

What do you do after you counts?
It wouldn't be bad idea to run all querys in batch for all the tables to get counts in one file.
Read this file in Cobol and do whatever you want. |

The request is to get the count of changes from a particular date
The date is part of input.
In anycase writing 100 queries is inevitable  |

that makes little or no sense.
since the only difference in the sql is the table name,
a quick and dirty REXX could build this for batch input, in a second.
although it would take longer than a second to write the rexx script - about 10 to 15 minutes. |

| By the way, all the 100 tables have the same column name for the date ? |
