I suspect based on the many partitions Rob runs that he is in fact trying to update the Link Omit file in BRMS with the source file on multiple partitions. So a partition would be a separate “machine” or remote database.

But still, if the intent is to effectively replace the file with the source, why get complicated? Sometimes dumb, stupid FTP (It’s meant to be dumb/stupid by design) is the most effective tool.

If Rob is trying to update data on a remote machine then he needs an SQLPKG. It didn't sound by his post that he was trying to update a remote database.

Then how does SQL know where to update the data?

I get the desire to use SQL, but wouldn’t a simple FTP be just as effective. Some times elegant only means complicated.

Subject: How to create a sql procedure which doesn't propagate a sql package to the remote system?

I have a sql stored procedure which basically looks like the following:

CREATE PROCEDURE robxyz.PROPAGATE_QLNKOMT()
LANGUAGE SQL MODIFIES SQL DATA
SET OPTION DATFMT = *ISO

P1 : BEGIN
DECLARE OMIT_LIST CHARACTER VARYING ( 32000 ) ;

SELECT FSXCMD INTO OMIT_LIST
FROM QUSRBRM . QA1AFS
WHERE FSNAME = 'QLNKOMT'
;
UPDATE GDI . QUSRBRM . QA1AFS
SET FSXCMD = OMIT_LIST
WHERE FSNAME = 'QLNKOMT' ;

...

...

...

The problem is, when I make a change to it and call it again the UPDATE GDI ..... statement fails to do the desired updating and I get:

SQL0818 - Consistency tokens do not match -

Cause . . . . . : Package PROPA00001 in ROB on application server GDIHQ cannot be run with the current application program because either the application program has been recompiled without rebuilding the package or the package has been restored from a back level version. Recovery . . . :
Rebuild the package by using the CRTSQLPKG command or by using a CRTSQLxxx command specifying the correct relational database. Otherwise, restore the package from a version which matches the application program being run.

Which basically forces me to rebuild the sql package on each target machine. Heck I'm not even calling a stored procedure on each target system so why do I need the package? Is there some option on CREATE PROCEDURE to it not to need a target sql package? Like a SET OPTION statement or some such thing?

I didn't see an option on the CALL to handle this
