Hello Rani,

If you want some other resources you can fire a query in Google with the following string 'dynamic sql in cobol'

Hope this helps,

Regards

Hi mdtendulkar/yesgokul,

ThanX for the Links. Just one clarification. my requirement needs the Table name to be changing. For eg. T1, T2, T3 etc. The number value appended is obtained at runtime. I beleive this can be done in a Procedure. But can I use a host variable for the table name in the embedded dynamic SQL?

Regards
Rani

Hi Rani,

Sorry for the late reply. From what i Know, if the table name is changing then you have to prepare the SQL stmt again & continue processing.(maybe there's another way).

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks,
Gokul
