Re: Using SQL UDF in SQLRPGLE program gets decimal data error

Oops!  Accidentally sent that too soon.  Here's the whole thing --

Actually,

 EVAL fromdate:x
    00000     F2F0F0F2 F0...... ........ ........   - 20020

would be consistent with
 FROMDATE          P(8,0)
not
 FROMDATE          S(8,0)

So maybe it's simply the compiler listing that's wrong?  The intermediate
source in QTEMP shows ELDATE as zoned:

 D  SQL_00011             65     72S 0    ELDATE
 D  SQL_00012             73     76S 0    ELTIMI

C                   EVAL      ELDATE = SQL_00011
C                   EVAL      ELTIMI = SQL_00012

and ELDATE itself is in the externally-defined data structure, which
presumably uses the external format, which is zoned-decimal.  If I compile
from the intermediate QTEMP source, the compile listing shows:

002400 d ERPLOG        E DS                  extname(ERPLOG)
000001=D ELDATE                         8S 0
000002=D ELTIMI                         4S 0

and from the service program compiler listing:

ELAPSEDHOU Field References:
   Field             Attributes         References (D=Defined M=Modified)
   FROMDATE          S(8,0)                 002300D     003200      003500
                     BASED(_QRNL_PST+)
   FROMTIME          S(4,0)                 002400D     003200      003600
                     BASED(_QRNL_PST+)
   THRUDATE          S(8,0)                 002500D     003300      003500
                     BASED(_QRNL_PST+)
   THRUTIME          S(4,0)                 002600D     003300      003600
                     BASED(_QRNL_PST+)

So it all looks like it's passing zoned to zoned, except the SQL, which if
Matt is correct, is passing packed decimal, but it's being converted to
zoned and works fine.  It's only the EVAL in the SQLRPGLE program that has a
problem.
