Here's a simple example I just came up with:

-SET &ECHO='ALL';
ENGINE SQLMSS SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION MetricDatamart
SQL SQLMSS
SELECT 'Y' AS VALUE;
TABLE
ON TABLE HOLD AS SQLOUT
END
-RUN

-READFILE SQLOUT
END

-SET &FIELD = &VALUE;
-TYPE &FIELD

In your SQL CAST the field

 

       CAST(FIELD AS CHAR(1))                    AS FIELD ,

This is one of the reasons that we ask for the version that folks are working with.

From Bharathi's signature, we can see that it is 7.6. -READFILE wasn't available in that release which is why it didn't work for them.


Happy holidays Smiler
