I am facing problem in reteriving data.

The scenario is I need to retrieve first 5 rows of a field(column) and concatenate them into a single column and then insert that single column.

Could you please tell me how can I retrieve 5 rows of a coulmn without using a cursor

Thanks in advance

Rajkannan,

None of the programming languages on the mainframe support multiple values for a host variable. How is the column defined? Is it a numeric field or a character field?

If you dont want to use a Cursor , you can execute your Singleton Select 5 times to retrieve the 5 Rows.
