Hi All,

EXEC SQL

DECLARE X-CURSOR CURSOR FOR SELECT DISTINT(FILE_NO) INTO :WS-FILE_NO FROM MASTER_TABLE WHERE FILE_PROCESSD='P'
END-EXEC.

Is it possible to decalre a cursor with the distint operator

sorry
DISTINCT is the one i need to use...

For EG:
this is the file structure..

File_no FILE_PROCESSD
11111 P
11111 P
11111 P
22222 P
33333 P
44444 P
44444 W
44444 W
44444 W
44444 W

By using the query in my program i want to fetch the file number by eliminating the duplicate values..

If i declare a cursor with out the Distinct function i will get all the records with status ="P"

Yes.. You can use DISTINCT Clause in the Declare Cursor.
