Can I hold a SELECT QUERY o/p to variable instead of holding to a file so that it can be used to subsequent queries.

E.g SQL
SELECT min(date1) into somevariable from table
END

At present, I holded the sql o/p to a hold file and joined this to subsequent SQL which is leading to performance issues.

Please guide me.

You could try something like :

SQL
SELECT min(date1) into somevariable from table;
TABLE ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLDLAST FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-READ HOLDLAST, &MINDATE
