Can you be more specific with your question? How can we give the query without specifying any data.

Before posting it directly here, do google it. You will find many solutions.
Are you so lazy that even this should be done by us.

Anyway you can use a query of this kind

SELECT * FROM table
where col = (SELECT MAX(col) FROM table)

Here 'col' can be one of the column of the table which increments each and every time a new record is added into the table.[/quote]

What do you mean by latest record? Do you have a time stamp column in the table?

Hi,

Here is the query that i have coded but this will give sql -811, I want to get only the latest only one record based on the time stamp.

Can you tell me what else do I need to add to this query to fetch only one record.

SELECT ESCHEAT_IND
INTO :WHS-20-ESCHEAT-IND
FROM GIWHS$01.WHS_20_EXTRACT
WHERE DRAFT_OFFICE = WS-DRAFT-OFFICE
AND DRAFT_LOGICAL_NO = WS-DRAFT-NUM
ORDER BY ACTIVITY_TS DESC


Thanks.

You need to specify FETCH FIRST ROW ONLY after order by clause.

This query will fetch multiple rows from the table since there are multiple rows present in the talbe.

You can use this as cursor and fetch only the first record, then it is possible to fetch only one record.

Using Cursor is a good option but my customer wants me to fetch without using cursor in a single query in the program. Is there any ways to do this ?

SELECT ESCHEAT_IND
INTO :WHS-20-ESCHEAT-IND
FROM GIWHS$01.WHS_20_EXTRACT
WHERE DRAFT_OFFICE = WS-DRAFT-OFFICE
AND DRAFT_LOGICAL_NO = WS-DRAFT-NUM
ORDER BY ACTIVITY_TS DESC
Fetch first 1 row only ;

Using this query I compiled but I am getting an error as '"ORDER BY" CLAUSE NOT PERMITTED'.

I removed the host variables and ran in QMF this same query is working fine here.

sounds as if you are developing under version 7
and your qmf is version 8.

pays to know your environment.

possibly qmf comes with pre-release sql but I doubt it.

if ACTIVITY_TS is unique (at least within DRAFT_OFFICE ,DRAFT_LOGICAL_NO )

SELECT ESCHEAT_IND
INTO :WHS-20-ESCHEAT-IND
FROM GIWHS$01.WHS_20_EXTRACT A
WHERE DRAFT_OFFICE = :WS-DRAFT-OFFICE
AND DRAFT_LOGICAL_NO = :WS-DRAFT-NUM
and ACTIVITY_TS =
(select max(ACTIVITY_TS) from GIWHS$01.WHS_20_EXTRACT B
where A.DRAFT_OFFICE = B.DRAFT_OFFICE
and a.DRAFT_LOGICAL_NO = b.DRAFT_LOGICAL_NO )




"ORDER BY" CLAUSE NOT PERMITTED probably has something to do with the precompiler version/settings.
