Answer / marekj

I mean you want to fetch only the first row and the select
statement is correct. You have to use "fetch first 1 row
only" eg.
select name
from peoples
where name like 'A%'
fetch first 1 row only;

As of my knowledge,we cannot fetch multiple rows with out
using cursor in cobol db2, Let us see the breif explanation

When you are trying to fetch multiple rows with select
statement using perform loop it gives the result as
fetches the first row while fetching the second row program
will be end with sqlcode.

Here is the only one way to fetch multiple rows from db2
table using cobol. Please follw the following steps.

1.Declare a cursor ( we have to code SELECT statement with
our criteria)
2.Open the cursor
3.fetch the rows using cursor
4.Close the cursor

Please Let me know if you find any mis stated information

Answer / anamika

You cannot use 'Fetch first 1 row only' in a singleton
select in COBOL. Instead u can use 'SELECT TOP <colname>'
to get the first row in the result set.
