SELECT Control Statement

The SELECT control statement is used to restrict statement processing to certain database records. The placement of the SELECT control statement is crucial, because it is interrogated at its relative position in the control statement flow. Typically, the SELECT control statement is placed at the beginning of the control statement flow or after the SORT control statement. Only one SELECT control statement is allowed, and it cannot be embedded within an IF or DO control statement.
