Hi,

My requirement is i want to delete the ids which are all having the value as FBN will be deleted from the table.

delete from table where fb_id = 'FBN'

please guide me

Hello,

If you post the problem code we may be able to help. NOT the entire program, just the bit about this delete.

This is an SQL statement and not a COBOL statement
It should come under EXEC SQL and END EXEC.
Since it is COBOL + DB2 it requires compile + Bind.

Refer DB2 Precompile-Compilation-Bind Process

Competitor site link deleted.

you can't have both :
OR "it wasn't accepted" which I interprete as a (pre-)compile error
OR "the delete goes into a loop" : which is impossible. A delete may have a wrong accesspath and dependant children may have no index so it would seem the delete takes forever. but a delete that goes into a loop would be a major problem for IBM.
