how to pass value to a stored procedure at runtime....

[Alias]

Hi Guys ,
I have to create a procedure which has a cursor declared
inside as :

Declare c_1 cursor for select name,dept,sal,desig from employee where
join_date < ( current timestamp - 100 days);
Is it possible to pass the value 100 at the run time ? I m stuck with
the correct syntax to do it but of no avail . I have tried :

Declare c_1 cursor for select name,dept,sal,desig from employee where
join_date < ( current timestamp ||'-'||p_number||' days)';
where p_number is an IN variable of int type.
But its not working .

Please excuse my ignorance as I m new to db2 .

Thanks .

Have you tried the obvious?

Declare c_1 cursor for select name,dept,sal,desig from employee where
join_date < ( current timestamp - p_number days);
