I'm trying to use deterministic with an external stored procedure
written in RPG in order to optimize the processing time. The info
returned by the procedure hardly ever changes .

According to what I understand deterministic specifies whether or not
the procedure will always return the same result from repeated calls
containing the same input values. If the answer is yes, DB2 will cache
the results and the next time a call is made using the same input
parameters, the result will be returned to the caller without the
external program ever being called. Testing under version 7 using the I
Series Navigateur I notice that the programme seems to be called with
each request even though the input parameters have not changed. I have
my 2 parameters declared as Input/Output. Could this be the problem. ?



CREATE PROCEDURE ITG849/RXL020G(

INOUT IO_DRXL020 CHAR (49) ,

INOUT IO_DRXCPA CHAR (287) )

LANGUAGE RPG DETERMINISTIC

EXTERNAL NAME RXL020G

PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL



Thanks in anticipation
