Re: CPF428A on a JDE Table

I think your private reply made it to the list as well :-)

I ended up just using an SQL update, but silly to have to compose an SQL update when I have a unique key already :-)

I like your idea and it has merit too. I just didn't want to be creating logicals over a JDE table since this is a process that will run regularly and needs filtering.

I guess I'll just have to get use to the fact that sometimes using SQL for all the I/O is the way to go :-)

Hi, Richard:

(For the list, and the archives, here is the "non-private" version I intended to post to the list.)

How about this approach:

1. create a logical file (or view) over that table that omits the BLOB
field, since you say your program will not be using it?
2. then, your program just uses the logical file, instead of directly
accessing the physical file.
3. if needed, you could even provide QDDSSRC and issue CRTLF to create
the (temporary) logical file (or SQL DDL source to create the SQL
view) in QTEMP, when the program runs...

Does that help? (/"Any problem in computer science can be solved by
adding one more level of indirection.":/)

All the best,

Hello All,

Working to create an RPGLE program that uses a JD Edward/Oracle E1 V9.1 table and it has a blob field in it.

Getting CPF428A when the program attempts to implicitly open the file as defined in the F spec.

I can get around it by using SQLRPGLE and omitting the blob field, but is there a way to get a regular RPGLE program to process a table with a blob field ?

I don't plan to use the field, but it's in the table.

I did google and checked the list, but didn't see a clear resolution for this.

Thanks in advance.
