I mean you want to fetch only the first row and the select
statement is correct. You have to use "fetch first 1 row
only" eg.
select name
from peoples
where name like 'A%'
fetch first 1 row only;

Answer / anamika
You cannot use 'Fetch first 1 row only' in a singleton
select in COBOL. Instead u can use 'SELECT TOP <colname>'
to get the first row in the result set.
