[SOLVED] MODIFY SQLOUT?

When I do a MODIFY to a regular HOLD file I get the desired results but when I MODIFY the results of a SQL Passthru (which I always thought is held to SQLOUT since we do a TABLE off of SQLOUT), I don't get the results.

In order for me to get it to work, I hold all the contents of the SQLOUT to a file that I name and then I MODIFY that held file.

Is this really the only way to do it or am I doing something wrong?

There is very little that you can achieve on an SQLOUT file. So I would hazard a guess that what you are doing is the way forward.

If you look at how data migrator does this, then you will see that it basically is the same as how you do it. Data Migrator does it like:
SQL PREPARE SQLIN FROM 
SELECT 
...
END

SQL EXECUTE SQLIN; 
TABLE ON TABLE HOLD AS  
SQLIN 
 FORMAT INTERNAL 
END 

MODIFY FILE somefile
 FIXFORM FROM SQLIN ALIAS PROPAGATE 

...

 DATA VIA SQLGET 
END

So, you're doing it quite well.

Hope this helps...
