Could you please help me with the following errors got in the following 2 cases?

Case1: BIND error

While using the following SQL statement in a cursor and trying to BIND the COBOL code

SQL Statement:-
EXEC SQL
DECLARE CURSORNAME CURSOR WITH HOLD FOR
SELECT T1.FIELDNAME1
,T1.FIELDNAME2
FROM TABLE1 T1, TABLE2 T2
WHERE T1.FIELDNAME1=T2.FIELDNAME1
AND T2.FIELDNAME2 = 'A'
FOR UPDATE OF FIELDNAME2

END-EXEC

Error:-
SQLCODE=-203 for FIELDNAME2
RDS CODE=-500

Case2:- Compile error

While using the same SQL statement in a cursor and trying to COMPILE the COBOL code with a qualifier.

SQL Statement:-
EXEC SQL
DECLARE CURSORNAME CURSOR WITH HOLD FOR
SELECT T1.FIELDNAME1
,T1.FIELDNAME2
FROM TABLE1 T1, TABLE2 T2
WHERE T1.FIELDNAME1=T2.FIELDNAME1
AND T2.FIELDNAME2 = 'A'
FOR UPDATE OF T1.FIELDNAME2

END-EXEC

Error:-
'ILLEGAL SYMBOL ".".'

ILLEGAL SYMBOL ".". SOME SYMBOLS THAT MIGHT BE LEGAL ARE: QUERYNO SKIP OPTIMIZE

UPDATE OF T1.

Read-only result table: Some result tables cannot be updatedâ€”for example, the result of joining two or more tables. The defining characteristics of a read-only result tables are described in greater detail in the discussion of DECLARE CURSOR in DB2 SQL.

rewrite yyour query as :

Select all

DECLARE CURSORNAME CURSOR WITH HOLD FOR
SELECT T1.FIELDNAME1 ,T1.FIELDNAME2
FROM TABLE1 T1
where exists (select * from TABLE2 T2
WHERE T1.FIELDNAME1=T2.FIELDNAME1
AND T2.FIELDNAME2 = 'A' )
FOR UPDATE OF FIELDNAME2
