Hi Stephen,

BLOBs are not recognized by RPG. Therefore, the BLOB field is being dropped from the externally defined data structure. Therefore, the data structure is invalid for a "SELECT *" from the table.

BTW - better off using a data structure array as opposed to a multiple occurrence data structure - no need to set occurrences etc.

Subject: SQL5011 error when accessing remote (seperate LPAR) DB

I am getting an SQL5011 error when compiling my program.

The error states:
"Position 25 Host structure array TWFPDFDS not defined or not usable."

This is part of an SQL to fetch multiple rows into a data structure.

This is the data structure:

D TWFPDFDs E Ds Extname(TWFPDF) occurs( 9999 )
The TWFPDF table resides on a remote system i.

Here is the bit of the RPG code:

Exec sql SET CONNECTION :srcBox ; Exec sql SET schema :srclib ;
Exec Sql DECLARE input CURSOR FOR Select * from TWFPDF; exec sql open input; exec sql fetch input for 9999 rows into :TWFPDFDS;
The compile error happens on this fetch. I've done this before and I am actually cloning an existing process that works...the only unusual item might be this table's definition.

It only contains three columns; the first two are character and are 17 and 20 characters. The third and final column is a *BLOB.

Is this BLOB the problem?

I need to send the data within this table across LPARs on a monthly schedule. Just trying to evaluate possibilities other than save/FTP/restore.

Thanks!

Steve Needles
