This is my first time trying SQL Passthru, so I'm sure I'm not doing something right, but in all the documentation and forums I've read in the past two days, I didn't find a complete walkthrough, so maybe the solution to this question can be it!

WebFOCUS 7.7.0.3.
I have my server adapters already set up in the server console, so I'm just trying to write a small procedure to make sure the Passthru is working. Here's my code. Currently it runs without errors, but just gives me "EDA No Data" although there is data in the table (yes, I'm sure):

 SQL SQLMSS SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION ICR_DEV

-RUN
SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
	SELECT RECORD_ID, OWNER
	FROM T_ICR_STAGING
;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END
-RUN

It would figure that right after I publicly ask for help, I figure it out on my own!

I found out that I can create a SQL Passthru procedure by creating a new procedure and using the SQL Report Wizard (did I mention I still have a lot to learn?). Then I just picked my connection, wrote my query, and then looked at the code afterwards.

For anyone else who's wondering, here's the final code (as I thought, just a few things different, but that's what makes all the difference in code!)
 ENGINE SQLMSS SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION ICR_DEV
SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
SELECT RECORD_ID, APPROVER
FROM T_ICR_STAGING
END
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT 
     RECORD_ID
     APPROVER
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD 
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = endeflt,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Well, this is very interesting. I knew WebFOCUS was picky about case, but not about whitespace!

The following code does not work:
 SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
	SELECT RECORD_ID, APPROVER
	FROM T_ICR_STAGING
END


But just removing that tab in front of SELECT allows it to work! Who woulda thunk?
 SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
SELECT RECORD_ID, APPROVER
	FROM T_ICR_STAGING
END


Spaces are okay, just can't hit the tab key on the keyboard before the select, or it gives the following error:
   0 ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE      7  IN PROCEDURE sql_passthru_test
 (FOC205) THE DESCRIPTION CANNOT BE FOUND FOR FILE NAMED: SQLOUT
 BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND

Congradulations for solving this your self.

Funny how tab chars can cause problems, as its allowed to be entered in Developer Studio.

I never use tabs in any of my program code. The tabs are rendered differently depending on which text editor you open the program in, sometimes two spaces, sometimes 4...

I prefer to modify the Dev Studio (and EditPlus) Editor Options to "Insert spaces" when pressing Tab.
