Hi, I have error when running the following script: IF (select rest_name from table.rest_def) <> 'TESTING' THEN RETURN ELSE SELECT net_sls_ttl FROM table.dly_sys_ttl WHERE cast((getDate()) As Date) = cast(dly_sys_ttl.business_date As Date); OUTPUT TO D:\TimeCard.csv FORMAT TEXT; END IF The error is "Could not execute statement. Syntax error near 'OUTPUT' on line 8. SQLCODE=-131. ODBC 3 STATE="42000" Line 1 column 5" However, there is no error if I remove the IF statement. The text file can be exported if I only run these: SELECT net_sls_ttl FROM table.dly_sys_ttl WHERE cast((getDate()) As Date) = cast(dly_sys_ttl.business_date As Date); OUTPUT TO D:\TimeCard.csv FORMAT TEXT; Please help :( |

OUTPUT is an ISQL command, not a SQL statement, and as such, cannot be used within procedures and code blocks - and the IF statement makes your list of statements a code block. (In contrast, your list of statements without the IF statement is not a code block, i.e. each statement is sent to the database engine each on its own (here's only one: the SELECT statement), and then DBISQL processes the OUTPUT command itself.) Therefore you need to use the UNLOAD statement instead of OUTPUT - cf. this related question: Oh my god it works!! Thank you so much for helping out. Appreciate it. :D
