- to_date() is SQL-code. It is not a host variable. Therefore it
- has to be in the sql-statement to be executed, not in the
- host variable list. Use something like this:
-
- strcat(stmt,"insert into tablename (f1,f2,date_field) ");
- strcat(stmt,"values (:v1,:v2,to_date(:v3, 'mm/dd/yy hh24:mi'))");
- exec sql prepare s1 from :stmt
- exec sql execute s1 using :var1,:var2,:datetime
