Answer / srivalli janapati

Your code must not be using the CURSOR concept and NOT
handling the abend properly.When atleast CURSOR is not
being used in the code,there should be alteranative code to
handle when query resulted in retrieving multiple rows.

-811: is basically the SELECT query resulted in retrieving
more than a Row

Meaning,the resultant query must be retrieving more than a
row,and tried to push all the resualtant rows at a time for
the processing.COBOL-DB2 program can't handle this
situation as it expects a row at a time and then ABENDS.

Answer / karamveer

-811 will come because you have the multiple record fetched by your query. But still your para is stored because first record from your query resultset is fetched and processed. -811 is error but it will not abend your program and it runs fine. You need to build query which result unique record.

Answer / santhoshabbula

The most common reason is that your COBOL logic is checking the wrong condition or not checking the SQLCODE immediately after the SQL statement.
