You don't need concat twice, this statement below should do it:
 
CONCAT (DIGITS(rdjeyr),DIGITS(rdjemo)) AS date                        
Good luck.

Subject: RPG Embedded SQL - problem with CONCAT

Hey fellow programmers & genius,
 
I have this problem the CONCAT in my embedded SQL. I am stringing three fields together. That works fine. The problem is when I try to test against the field I am building. Am I able to do this or am I just wrong on the syntax?
 
Please help.
 
My error code is a -514. When I cut and paste the statement from debug and run interactively I get an error that states that the field DATE can't be found. The exact statement is "Column DATE not in specified tables" which is true because I am creating it. If I remove the test it runs without errors.
 
 
The following is what I cut from debug which is much more readable:
 
SELECT rdbrr, rditem, rdpack ,rdbttl, rdcase, imwgal, impcse ,      
DIGITS(rdject) CONCAT DIGITS(rdjeyr) CONCAT DIGITS(rdjemo) AS date                        
FROM rrrdmast, icmsmp WHERE rditem = imitem AND rdpack = impack AND 
rdbrr = 38 AND ((date >= "200101") or (date <= "200106"))       
 
 
 
The following is what I cut directly from my program:
c                   eval      sql_string2 = 'SELECT rdbrr, rditem, rdpack -*  
c                             ,rdbttl, rdcase, imwgal, impcse, -              
c                             DIGITS(rdject) CONCAT DIGITS(rdjeyr) CONCAT -   
c                             DIGITS(rdjemo) AS date -        &nb! sp;               
c                             FROM rrrdmast, icmsmp -                         
c                             WHERE rditem = imitem AND rdpack = impack -     
c                             AND rdbrr = ' + %editc(mwwhse:'X') +         *  
c   &n! bsp;                          ' AND ((date >= "' + beg_date + '") or -        
c                             (date <= "' + end_date + '"))'                  
                                                                              
c/exec sql  &nb! sp;                                                                 
c+ PREPARE p2 FROM : sql_string2                                              
C/end-exec                                            &nb! sp;           & nbsp;           
c/exec sql                                                                    
c+ DECLARE data2 CURSOR FOR p2                                                
C/end-exec                          &! nbsp;                                         
c/exec sql                                                                    
C+ OPEN data2                                                 &n! bsp;                
C/end-exec                                                                    
C                   Dow       sqlcod = 0                                      
C/exec sql                      &n! bsp;                                             
C+ FETCH data2 INTO :sql_input2                                               
C/end-exec                                                               &nb! sp;    
Thanks in Advance:

Daniel A. Keith
 
PS I wasn't sure if this was to be in midrange-l or rpg-l.
