Hi,
in our system, the command
SELECT SINGLE 'X'
INTO DATA(exists) FROM dbtab
WHERE ....
does not work. Is this SP8 specific? We do have SP5.
I want to use this, because this existence indicator won't ne used in further coding.

When you use a inline declaration ( DATA(exists) ), you have to escape the program variables with '@':
INTO @DATA(exists) FROM dbtab
Don't forget if you have some variables (that were declared in your program) in the condition clause WHERE, you have to escape them too.

ooops, I tried DATA(exists) and DATA(@exists), but not @DATA(exists)
I tried it now, but it does not work (in SP5).

What's the error message? Please post all the relevant information about the error you are getting.

The error message said, that offset is not allowed in new OpenSQL syntax. The parser seems to "think", hat (...) is a variable for the offset
