Hi,

Here i am giving the procedure , how to make the table into
half..... using program... I dont know whether any direct
SQL command is there or not. This is just for ur idea what
i know.

1) Find the total number of rows in a table using count(*)

2) Declare two variable in working storage section.
eg: 02 A pic 9(4) .
02 B pic 9(2).

store the count no into one variable .assume u stored that
in A.

then divide that by 2. so u will get half of the rows in a
table. strore that value in B.

3) Take another variable name C .

eg: 02 c pic 9(4) value 0.

perform para1 until B =C

para1:

Retrive the row from the table.

move to corresponding host variables ( use table to store
muliple rows ).

insert into table(u can insert multiple rows at a time ...)

do the same for storing the other half into the another
table.

means here 1 st half rows were stored in one temp
table .... the other in the one table.

Answer / arpita

We can achieve this by using STRSQL and CPYF commands as
follows -

Type STRSQL, Press Shift + F1, option1 Change session
attributes.Type 3 for SELECT option, specify the output
file name and library (must be created in QTEMP, for a
temporary file). Press ENTER twice.

Then, type the following query -
select * from SAHAA/EMPDATA1
where rrn(EMPDATA1) in(
SELECT distinct dec((rrn(EMPDATA1)/2)) FROM SAHAA/EMPDATA1
) --> use your file and library name

Press Enter, the message File TEMP in QTEMP was created.
Restore the previous session attributes as follows -

Press Shift + F1, option1 Change session attributes.Type 1
for SELECT option. Press ENTER thrice.

Now, we would have half no. of records of EMPDATA1 in file
TEMP (say)

Now, simply use the CPYF command to copy TEMP file data
into EMPDATA1 as follows -

CPYF FROMFILE(QTEMP/TEMP) TOFILE(SAHAA/EMPDATA1) MBROPT
(*REPLACE)

Note:- TEMP is the file temporarily created in QTEMP, so
that it is no longer present in the system when the session
expires.

Consider that a package is bound into 2 different collections and the PKLIST option specifies both the collections. If the collection id is not specified in the program while executing the SQL query, then when the DB2 system will search the package list, which collection will it pick up or will it give an error/abend?
