RE: Dave Odom was RE: Mark Allen, were you the onethat'strying to put numeric datato i5 via ASP???

Well, for a numeric field of any sort on the iseries, 

INSERT INTO mylib.myfile (NumField) VALUES (123456)

will work, assuming other things are OK. Actually, at V5R4, you can pass a 
character representation of a number and it will still work.

The ASP value held in NumField (not the field in the iseries PF) - what is a 
typical value - is that field a character field or a numeric - does it contain 
commas? Are you running into a locale problem, such as decimal point and 
thousands separator stuff?

I finally suggest turning on the Database monitor, either at a green screen or 
through iSeries Navigator. This way you can find out just what is happening on 
the iSeries - what the statement is when it comes from your web page. STRDBMON 
is the command, and you can make it run against all jobs.

STRDBMON OUTFILE(VERN/DBMON)
         JOB(*ALL)
         TYPE(*DETAIL)

Then run your web page

Then use 

ENDDBMON JOB(*ALL)

Then you get to go to www.iseries.ibm.com/db2 and go to their tech pages there 
to find an article on using the DB monitor. Or you can use iSeries Nav to 
interpret what you collected.

Hi Vern 

Nope we were already advised of that; 

Steve, 

Try getting rid of the single quotes around &NumField when you construct the 
SQLINSERT statement. Enclosing the value in quotes indicates a character 
literal.

Hi Paul, 

Now we get SQL0104 Token was not valid, the value looks right and is coming 
out 
in the right place on the error message.

Hi Steve 

When I said it shows *SQL, I meant that your statement was using SQL 
naming - lib.file instead of lib/file. There is an attribute of the 
connection that you can use to set which naming convention to use - I 
forget what the default is. Your code does explicitly set the naming 
convention. 

As to the statement, here is what it is after resolving variables and all 

INSERT INTO mylib.myfile (NumField) VALUES ('123456') 

If NumField in myfile is numeric, then this will not work, because 
you are putting a character string into a numeric field. Get rid of 
both apostrophes. In particular, change 

SQLINSERT=SQLINSERT &"'" &NumField &"')" 

to 

SQLINSERT=SQLINSERT &NumField &")"

Hi Vern 

It may or may not be rocket science, and in all probability it will 
turn out to be something very simple but I do know it is frustrating 
as hell. We drag the data from the iSeries fine but when we go to 
send it back is when it goes wrong. The code I sent in my original 
message is where the error occurs. Apparently there is nothing in 
ASP where you can define what a field should be, or so I am told. 

SQLINSERT="INSERT INTO mylib.myfile (NumField)" 
SQLINSERT=SQLINSERT & " VALUES (" 
SQLINSERT=SQLINSERT &"'" &NumField &"')" 
set connupdate = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection") 
connupdate.open "Provider=IBMDA400;Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.x;", "ABC", "ABC" 
connupdate.execute(SQLINSERT) 
connupdate.close 

As far as the naming convention goes, if it shows *SQL should it not 
be *SQL? Seems a little strange to me that you can set a value to 
one thing but it displays something totally different. 

I know next to nothing about ASP, my friend who does ASP is away 
until Monday, so unfortunately I cannot get into the source. I will 
get the details from him when he gets back.

Steve 

This is not rocket science - there is something very simple that is 
not right. Please leave details - what is the final ASP code that 
gave you the SQL0104 message? 

We do numerics all the time - ODBC and OLEDB have done it forever - 
you are using the IBMDA400 provider - it works - no problems. 

What naming convention are you using - it shows *SQL but maybe it is 
set to *SYS. 

Can you debug the ASP code - I know it is similar to VB, but I've 
never worked in it myself. If so, verify what the full SELECT 
statement looks like - something is wrong with it. 

So help us help you.

C'mon Dave were you just teasing us? Getting our hopes up only to 
have them dashed on the rocks of machine interface incompatability?? ;-) 

How do you pass numerics to the iSeries via ASP? We have tried many 
things and none work. 

Steve

If so, I do that with an ASP application and it's not a problem. 
FWIW. 

Take care,
