Rewind Hold File ?

I have a costly SQL query that I run and Hold. Then I run 'TABLE FILE SQLOUT'.
Is there a way to rewind the Hold file and reuse it with another 'TABLE FILE' ?
It says that the Hold file does not exist anymore.

Storing first in your own hold file...

SQL DB2
  SELECT * FROM tablename ;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
  PRINT *
  ON TABLE HOLD AS MYHOLD
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE MYHOLD
  PRINT *
END

Mikel

Are these other table files in the same fex file? If they are in the same file then yes.
SQL SQLORA
SELECT
...
;
TABLE
ON TABLE HOLD AS H0 FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE H0
HEADING
"REPORT 1"
PRINT *
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE H0
"REPORT 2"
PRINT *
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END


If they are not in the same file, well I guess you can. You can tell WebFOCUS to create a flat file on edapath and then you can call that file in the other fex files. This is really not a good idea you should get a view created from your sql.

I don't use the SQLOUT method.
After the ; in the SQL statement, I do the following:
TABLE
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYFILE
END

Then you can do whatever you like with it. I wonder if that will help you?

Nightowl:

Using only TABLE without FILE SQLOUT don't works everywhere (I have tried now WF7 with SQLMAC and i get a error message).

And attending doc. (for example Issuing Commands and Requests in DB2) we must use TABLE FILE SQLOUT.

Mikel

Thx for replies. SQLOUT didn't work. 'TABLE HOLD' worked. That
satisfied my need for rewinding the HOLD file.

SQL DB2
SELECT DISTINCT COL1
FROM TAB1;

TABLE ON TABLE HOLD AS H1
END

-* going
TABLE FILE H1
PRINT COL1
END

-* and going
TABLE FILE H1
PRINT COL1
END

-* and still going
TABLE FILE H1
PRINT COL1
END

This example also works:

SQL DB2 
SELECT DISTINCT COL1 FROM TAB ;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT 
PRINT * 
ON TABLE HOLD AS H1
END
