RE: creating a view -- RPG400-L

Thanks for your reply Charles
That's one thing that I am VERY bad at, and I've no one to blame but myself
We are in V5R4

Believe it or not, I had thought of using the WHERE clause before, However
there is NOTHING in that member that makes the records in that member to be
unique to that member.

Alan,

What version of i5/OS are you on?

If v5r4, what criteria determines what member is used when?

An option to consider would be to use v5r4 support of partitioned
tables. The get implemented as a
multi-member physical file, but SQL sees them as a single table. If
the view you create over that
table includes a WHERE clause that would limit the records to those
in a single partition (member)
then the OS is smart enough to only look in that member.

I don't know what effect the partition table would have on RPG native

I/O.

I suspect none, as long as the data RPG writes to a given member
meets the partition requirements for
that member.

HTH,

Charles

Am I to understand therefore that once the view is created,
the changes to that ONE member (and ONLY THAT ONE MEMBER)
will be reflected in the view?

Alan,
Once the view is created you can delete the override, it is only
needed to create the view because you can't use member on

the create

view. Adds and changes to the physical file members will be normal.

we

With this mechanism I can clearly define which version of the

Buck,

maybe I am wrong on this. If I am correct, I think it is

important

for people to understand the problems you are exposed to if you
incorrectly use service programs.

*prv signatures dont protect from the problem of

reordering of the

exports of the srvpgm. As I understand it, the *PRV and *current
signatures of a srvpgm are the ones that will not signal

a signature

violation. But if you insert or remove entries from the binding
source, which causes the export numbers of your exports

to change,

your applications are going to fail - despite the fact

you dont get

a signature violation.

That's correct Steve. *PRV signatures are pretty much a

more specific

lvlchk(*no). That is, you can say "any of the listed

signatures are

valid". However, the srvpgm itself still retains only one list of
entry points. I agree that this part of binder language is

confusing

and somewhat misleading. That said, there is a simple way

to make it

easier ... don't use *PRV. IMHO, *PRV signatures are really only
useful for documentation purposes, and there are more

straightforward

ways of documenting source.

I'm coming into this thread late so I apologize if I'm

being redundant

or am way off the mark.

I don't understand why you would be concerned about data

being added,

deleted, and/or changed to members of a file you are not interested
in.

<snip>
My thinking is that the same thing would happen to the view as the
OVRDBF is not in play at the time that data is added,

deleted and/or

changed to other members of the original file.

What do you mean by "the same thing would happen to the view"?

A view is just a select statement that gets executed each time the
view is opened. Any data changes will be reflected at the

next open

of the view presuming the OVRDBF is in effect. Are you saying you
don't want to see the data changes?

Hi,

An alias that is created over a physical file member cannot be
specified in an CREATE VIEW statement.
You'll get SQL7030:
Message . . . . : Alias X for table QRPGLESRC in HAUSER

not valid for

statement.

Cause . . . . . : The SQL statement cannot be performed

on alias X

because

the alias refers to a member of table QRPGLESRC in

Michael,

I think what you have is a situation where you are

returning records

from F4211la that are not in F59912. Then you are asking to only
see the records that are also in F59911. Because you are

asking for

exceptions, any records returned fail the test in your

where clause.

Try removing the where clause and see what you get. If that gets
you closer (returns some records) you might try moving the select
from the where clause to the top and create a temp table.

It would

look something like this: (not tested)

With temptable as (select DISTINCT * from ajdevmdta.F59911 where
CCTYPE = 'AB')

SELECT DISTINCT SDKCOO,SDDOCO,SDDCTO,SDLNID,SDMCU FROM
ajdevjdta.F4211la EXCEPTION JOIN temptable ON

from: <johnking@xxxxxxx>
subject: Defining DS to retrieve variable length data from API

All,

Q) How to define a DS to retrieve variable-length data

from an API?

The goal is to define an /include member that can be used in V5R3
RPGLE.

For example, QMHRCVM uses format RCVM0100 to return the

text of a

message.
Although the length of the data available to "MsgRplData" is
actually defined by "RplDAvail", for most purposes just

defining "MsgRplData"

as a fixed length is sufficient. Referencing this DS in a calling
program with
"LikeDS(RCVM0100_t)
Inz(*likeDS)" makes using this API convenient and consistent.

D RCVM0100_t DS Qualified
D RCVM0100 32767A
D ByteReturn 10I 0 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100)
D ByteAvail 10I 0 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)
D MsgSever 10I 0 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)
D MsgId 7 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)
D MsgTyp 2 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)
D MsgKey 4 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)
D Resserve_1 7 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)
D CCSID_CnvSt 10I 0 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)
D CCSID_RplD 10I 0 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)
D RplDReturn 10I 0 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)
D RplDAvail 10I 0 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)
D MsgRplData 127 INZ Overlay(RCVM0100:*next)

So how should RCVM0200 be defined if it became necessary to
retrieve the "MsgText" or "MsgHText" fields? Their start

positions

depend of the length of the previous fields.

I'm sure there is some combination of "%addr" and "%len"

and "overlay"

and
"presto" that will accomplish this but I'm sure having trouble
getting clear on the concept. Would anyone be kind enough

to point

me to a previous thread or article that discusses this?

Many thanks, JK

subject: RPG "code crawler and resource resolver"

Hi everyone,

I am working on a project where I need to programmatically gather
information about an RPG *PGM's/*SRVPGM's input and output

parameters.
Take

the following code for example:

p Cust_getRec b export
d Cust_getRec pi
d pError like(Cust_Error)
d pCustRec likeds(CM)
d pCustNbr like(CM.CUSTNBR)
/free

clear pError;
clear pCustRec;
chain(n) pCustNbr CUSTMST;
if not %found;
pError = 'Customer Not Found';
else;
pCustRec = CM;
endif;

/end-free
p e

I was confident in the ease of gathering this information

until I came

across keywords LIKEDS/LIKE/etc. This obviously means that source

crawlers

would have to crawl even further to find the definition of

the LIKExx

keywords - pretty much performing the steps of a compiler

for resource

resolution. I was intrigued by the PCML one could generate during a

compile

until I found out it threw errors when "illegal PCML

parameters" were
used

(i.e. using a non-int pass-back parm).

Here is what I am wondering... does anybody have code developed to
appropriately query an existing
prototype/procedureinterface/*ENTRY*PLIST
source that they would be willing to share? You don't have

to post it

online, if necessary contact me offline: aaronbartell at

gmail dot com.

Thanks in advance,
Aaron Bartell
