Force a SQL update to execute?

When I run a dynamic SQL update statement embedded in RPG without a condition ( i.e. update or delete all rows ) it does not execute. Is there a way I can force it to execute?

This is not a restriction. You either have a problem with your RPG program or have encountered a system defect that should be reported to IBM Support.
