Re: Size of a SQL result set

If I use multiple fields instead of trying to store it as one big field I
don't get any problems.

Basically I changed from:
     D Parm1           DS                  Occurs(1)
     D  Valid                         1a
     D  Exception                     7a
     D  vLogin                      380a
...
     D login         e ds                  extname(login)

To defining each field which appears in the DS login, underneath Parm1 and
removed vLogin.
And why didn't I define vLogin as like(login) instead of 380a?  Ask the
@#$%ing precompiler!

Hello Rob,

No.  That's sounds wrong.  If that's what is happening someone deserves an
APAR.  What about an integer field containing the value zero (e.g.,
x'0000') in the middle of a record?

It would seem that the Domino application is treating the array parameter
as a C-string, hence the x'00' terminator effect.

Why aren't you using real result sets (i.e., SET RESULT SETS CURSOR xxx)?

Write a small Java application that invokes the same stored procedure and
see if that also suffers the truncation.  If I get time I might play with
this.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
