According to the manuals, PREPARE is available only in embedded SQL. The following syntax compiles correctly:

Create Procedure mfrtest(simno char(10))
BEGIN
declare my_query varchar(500);
set my_query = 'Select sim_mfr_no from valid_mfr where sim_mfr_no = '''
|| simno || '''';
call DBC.SysExecSQL (:my_query);
End;

When I try to run it, however, I get this error:

*** Failure 5568 mfrtest:SQL statement is not supported within a stored procedure.

I believe this is because stored procedures cannot return result sets; they can only return a single row of values.

If your procedure is fairly simple and you need a result set, you should probably use a macro instead:

Create Macro mfrtest(simno char(10))
as
(Select sim_mfr_no
from valid_mfr
where sim_mfr_no = :simno;
);
