# SQL-048 Set an award status to Pending

Sets an award's status to Pending; unlike other update statements in this library, no `UPDATE_NUM` predicate protects this update from concurrent overwrite.*

## Classification



| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **SQL ID** | SQL-048 |
| **Operation type** | Update |
| **Execution method** | Inline SQL |
| **Database** | Oracle |
| **Schema** | `[unqualified]**` |
| **Command type** | Text |
| **Business object** | `clsSetAwardPaymentPending` |
| **Criteria property** | `UpdateSQL` |
| **Lifecycle method** | `BeforeUpdate` |

## Parameters



| Parameter | Direction | Type | Max length | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `UpdateUser` | Input | String | 30 | Auditing user (AWARD_STATUS_CODE = 'P' is literal) |
| `ClaimID` | Input | Decimal | — | Row key |
| `AwardNum` | Input | Decimal | — | Row key — no UPDATE_NUM contention predicate in the WHERE clause |

## Tables



| Table | Access | Columns used |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [CL_AWARD](../database-tables.md#cl_award) | UPDATE | AWARD_STATUS_CODE, UPDATE_NUM, UPDATE_USER_ID, UPDATE_DATE, CLAIM_ID, SAIF_AWARD_NUM |

## Sample SQL

```sql
-- Set award status to Pending (no optimistic-concurrency predicate)
Update CL_AWARD
   Set AWARD_STATUS_CODE = 'P',
       UPDATE_NUM        = UPDATE_NUM + 1,
       UPDATE_USER_ID    = :UpdateUser,
       UPDATE_DATE       = SYSDATE
 Where CLAIM_ID       = :ClaimID
   And SAIF_AWARD_NUM = :AwardNum
```
