Answer / sdexcellent@yahoo.co.in
EXPLAIN is used to display the access path as determined by
the optimizer for a SQL statement.
It can be used in SPUFI (for single SQL statement ) or in
BIND step (for embedded SQL ).
plan table should be created under your authid.if its there
then only EXPLAIN can be used in SPUFI.

select billtn,lpic from xxxx where lpic > ?
