RE: How to pass variable number of parameters in SQLRPGLE

You cannot reference a parameter if it hasn't been passed. In programs which
have a variable number of parameters, I reference the parameters only once,
in the *INZSR, and move them (if passed) or default values (if not passed)
to the actual variables I'm using in the program.

In other words, you need to move Param1 to another variable if, and only if,
%PARMS > 0. Otherwise, initialize the other variable to some default. Then
only use the new variable in the calcs.

Subject: How to pass variable number of parameters in SQLRPGLE

Hi All,

 

I want to call my SQLRPGLE program in two modes.

 

1.      From another program with one parameter (character type).
2.      From the Command Line with out any parameter.

 

I have coded it as follows,

 

* Prototype for calling this program (*ENTRY)          

DMYPGM        PR                   EXTPGM(MYPGM)                

DParam1                       10A   OPTIONS(*NOPASS) 

 

 * Procedure interface for this program (*ENTRY)        

DMYPGM         PI                                   

DParam1                       10A   OPTIONS(*NOPASS)

 

C                      IF   %PARMS > 0

C                      ........

C                      ELSE

C                      ........

C                      ENDIF

 

The *NOPASS works fine when I coded it in a subprocedure and used that
subprocedure in my main program.

When used in the main program it is working fine when I call it with a
parameter.

But it is giving "Pointer or Parameter error" when called without any
parameter.

 

Can any one please tell me what is wrong in my code?

I tried the same code with RPGLE type it is working fine. But why it is not
working with SQLRPGLE?

In RPGLE it is working fine even if I remove the *NOPASS option. !!!!

 

Thanks,

Satheesh
