[GENERAL] EXECUTE INTO on 8.2

[Jon Asher]

I'm seeing some strange behavior with the following code.  It compiles and
runs but returns an error on the Execute statement:
List index out of bounds(0)

DECLARE
  srec record;
  v_formula varchar;
  v_result varchar;

BEGIN
  v_formula = 'select 4 as val';
  EXECUTE v_formula INTO srec;
END;

However, the old school version runs w/no problem:

BEGIN
  v_formula = 'select 4 as val';

  FOR srec IN EXECUTE v_formula LOOP
      v_result = srec.val;
  END LOOP;
END;

Any idea why the new syntax isn't working?  (I'm running 8.2 on a Windows
dev box.)
