Re: Calling a DB procedure from another DB

It might not even be necessary to create the stored procedure - seems an SQL CALL will handle it already, if there is no need for returning any parameters or result set. And, in the latter case, the COBOL would need to be modified.

Anyway, just try a CALL and see whether the COBOL program runs - this works in interactive SQL.

Also, it seems to me there is a special syntax in the iSeries ODBC that will allow direct execution of commands - something like using curly brackets.

Nothing unique about the COBOL program. Just use the SQL 'create
procedure' statement to make it a stored procedure on the 400. Then a
standard SQL CALL can get at it.
