RE: Stored Procedure Result sets

UDTF is a good idea but I don't really want to go down that route if there
is a quicker answer, to be honest large parts of this routine are synon
generated, i.e .the array declaration filling the array etc.

The result set return is done using a little be of user source.

What was wrong with the UDTF suggestion?

Why can't you set your DS field names to the names the PC guys are
expecting? (Is this RPG/400 or something?)

I didn't think there would be a way to do it.

I guess I'm just going to store my data in a work file and SQL it out into

a

cursor where I can control the column names....

Either that or get the pc guys to change their code to reference the field
names of the data structure.

Thanks for the reply.

Not with a stored procedure. The system doesn't keep track of which
columns are returned by a stored procedure -- indeed, your program logic
could potentially change those columns each time you run it.

However, if you used a UDTF, you could control the column names...

Otherwise, I suggest that you simply name your DS subfields the name
that you want SQL to see.

Anybody know of a way to override the Result set column name generated by
the following:

SET RESULT SETS ARRAY :X FOR :Y ROWS

Where is X is a multi occurrence data structure.
