Re: Ecpg fetch issue

Hi
When using ECPG, if you have a simple FETCH, it will do it row by row; the
way to download more than one row at a time is by using data arrays.
In my case, when I want to extract, for example, 100 records at once, I use
the following model:

I define a data array:

EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
struct _resultData {
int int_data1;
char chr_data2[11];
} resultData[100];
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

and then in the fetch:

EXEC SQL
FETCH FORWARD 100 cCursor
INTO :resultData;

and the variable sqlca.sqlerrd[2] controls the number of records returned

I hope it helps you
