Re: sqlstate 02000 while declaring cursor/freeing prepared

I worked on my problem a little further and have a little more 
information to share. The declare statement that fails consistently 
follows a select statement that returns zero rows (and sqlcode 100 and 
sqlstate '02000'). If I ommit the select statement from the code or set 
sqlcode to 0 before calling the declare statement, the declare statement 
works fine.

It appears as though the declare statement is not updating the sqlca 
structure. Is this by design for the ecpg options that I'm using? Did I 
pick up bad habits while using Informix?

Thanks ...
