Answer / m4io

it is not possible in db2 v8 : you still need a cursor.
However : you can fetch 100 rows in one fetch.

05 HV-col1-ARRAY PIC s9(04) COMP OCCURS 100 TIMES.
05 HV-col2-ARRAY PIC x(40) OCCURS 100 TIMES.
05 HV-vcol3-ARRAY OCCURS 100 TIMES.
49 HV-vcol3-len-ARRAY PIC s9(04) COMP.

05 HV-IND2-ARRAY PIC s9(04) COMP OCCURS 100 TIMES.

how to fetch multiple records without using cursor..

Answer / mahyn

However if we want to fetch and process multiple rows
without using cursor, we can do with the below psuedo code.

assume that seq_num is unique.
h-seq initilized with spaces.

perform until sqlcode = +100 or h-seq >= 500
exec sql
select seq_num into :seq-num from tablename
where seq_num > :h-seq
order by Seq_num with ur;
fetch first 1 row only
end-exec
operations
move seq-num to h-seq
end-perform

how to fetch multiple records without using cursor..

Answer / sivakumar sekharannair

None of the host languages can handle multiple records at a
time.
But i think if we know the number of rows that will be
retreived then we can load the records into a internal
table and then process it as required...
Any thoughts!!!!!!
