RE: SQL2JXL gets SQL0204 on one machine, works on another

Can you check the QCCSID system value? If 65535, that could be the problem......

Hi Eric,

Hey, when I don't know better, nothing's silly :-) .

SQL2JXL is a great utility written by Giuseppe Costagliola (see
http://www.mcpressonline.com/mc?14@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@.6b16ef2b). He
wrote another version called SQL2XLS (see
http://www.mcpressonline.com/mc?50@@.6ae8269f). The latter uses the
same POI HSSF APIs that Scott Klement used in his HSSFR4 service
program; the former uses the faster JExcel API developed by Andy Khan.
Both APIs are written in Java.

Basically, it takes any valid SQL SELECT statement and creates a
spreadsheet from it. It also has the ability to merge it with an
existing spreadsheet. Perfect for those users who can't stand reports
anymore and want everything in a spreadsheet.

I've installed it on about 4 machines now (thanks Giuseppe!), and this
is the first time I've had problems. And it's when I have problems that
the real learning begins!

Both jobs have a different library list; however, in both cases, the
file I'm querying is in the library list. The jxl.jar is compiled with

CRTJVAPGM CLSF('/excel/jxl.jar') OPTIMIZE(40)

Near as I can tell, the SQL2JXLC program runs the SQL2JXL class with a
classpath that includes /excel/jxl.jar. The SQL2JXL java class is what
actually excecutes the SQL SELECT statement by using a jdbc driver.

Well, I guess that was a little silly... First of all, what is SQL2JXL? I bet it uses QSQPRCED api to get to the data.....

What happens when you qualify the file reference in your SQL? I am sure this should work. Then the question becomes, what happens to your library list.

Are you sure your two jobs have the same LIBL?

Did you compile with commit *none?

Hi Everyone,

I installed SQL2JXL on two separate machines, both have

vrm530
same PTF level
java 1.4.2

and on one of them, SQL2JXL gets an SQL0204 while on the other it works
fine. I tested with a trivial SQL statement which works fine in
interactive SQL, e.g. SELECT * FROM FILEA.

In interactive SQL, both machines show *LIBL as the result for

SELECT CURRENT_PATH FROM SYSIBM/SYSDUMMY1

What am I missing?
