Midrangers,


At last week's RPG World conference, it was stressed that when writing an embedded-SQL statement to retrieve fields from a file, that naming the individual fields in the SELECT statement was preferable to using '*' to get all fields. I am attempting to pull three fields from a file, but a time field which I am not using contains an invalid value resulting in "SQLSTT 22003 Numeric Value Out Of Range".

Here is the code:

Select BHBSS, BHBHST, BHBTDT From SLBHREP Where BHBHST = ? And BHBTDT >= ?
Order By BHBTDT Desc For Read Only

The field it is choking on is a time field... BHBTIM. BHBTIM = 040404.

If I am not naming the time field, how is it causing the error? What can I do to prevent it?

Thanks,
