Hi,
I have been analysing a Cobol-Db2 program.I found a really strange query rather I'm not able to grasp the motive behind the Query.
Query
Code: |
Select count(*)
into WS-COUNT
from I_Coverage
where I_Code = 'INDIV'
union all
Select count(*)
into WS-COUNT
from I_Coverage
where I_Code = 'GROUP' |
The first thing that bothers me, this Query is not declared as a cursor.The result of this Query will definitely give 2 values...One giving the no of active individual coverages and second giving the no of active group coverages.
During execution the latest value ie the one belonging to active group coverages will be the final value.
Can anyone explain why such a query is fired...Thanx in advance... |

Veeeeery interesting,
In a small test I did, I received a -811 SQLCODE. DB2 performed the second count(*) first, stored the value, then gave a -811. The code you have must not be checking for multiple rows.
Certainly, this is not doing what the author expected.
Dave, |

Thanks Dave for the prompt reply.
I'm working on a reverse engineering task and the query makes no sense at all. I haven't received much info regarding the actual requirements... |
