Hi,
I've got a program that is used to replace a particular value found in source members with another value.
It uses the SQL update command, as follows...
update QSQLSRC set srcdta=replace(srcdta,'oldvalue','newvalue')
This works fine on an old v5r4 box and the oldvalue and newvalue can have different lengths with no complaints
from SQL.
On a v7r3 box I get an SQL7939 message, saying 'Data conversion required on INSERT or UPDATE'.
The reason code is 3 (Reason 3 is that 'the INSERT or UPDATE value is a variable length string and column SRCDTA is not').
I can't see any difference in the files between the systems. In fact,
the file on v7r3 is just a transferred copy of the file from v5r4.
What am I doing wrong, or what am I ignorant of here?
Best Regards,
Thomas Garvey
