  • Global Temporary Tables And Host Variables, Take 2

    May 31, 2016 Ted Holt

    In Global Temporary Tables and Host Variables, I complained that DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE does not permit me to use host variables. I presented two ways to circumvent the problem. Today I revisit the topic to show another way that was not available six years ago.

    First, create some global variables.

       create variable somelib.gv_Company   dec(3);
       create variable somelib.gv_Customer  dec(5);
    

    Then use those global variables in your program.

    exec sql
       set gv_Company  = :inCompany;
    exec sql
       set gv_Customer = :inCustomer;
    exec sql
       declare global temporary table Temp1 as
           (select *
              from sales
             where companyno  = gv_Company
               and customerno = gv_Customer)
         with data with replace;
    

    DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE has no qualms with the use of global variables.

    Global variables are still new to me. I suspect I have not even begun to understand the many ways to use them effectively.
