Thanks Chuck! I was looking at the ARRAY data type. I have to think about
this as I would be passing multiple arrays of different types and sizes,
and I don't think I want to have multiple SQL TYPEs out there. I'm using
the 'map to big variable' technique now, but I'm going to look at this as
another option. Thanks again!

I want to do this:

Exec Sql
Call PRMTEST( :pInStore

Where pInStore and pOtSKU are arrays defined like this:

D pInSKU 9A Dim(200)
D pInQuantity 3A Dim(200)

And PRMTEST is an RPG program.

I'm getting an SQL0314 error in my compile. It's definitely due to
the array; if I take off the DIM it compiles.

I thought this was an issue in the past (passing arrays via a call
statement), but had been resolved by V7R1.

What do I need to do differently? I thought there was a thread about
this some time ago, but I can't find it. Thanks!

SQL added an ARRAY data type [available for many scalar data types],
but there is no support for\from embedded SQL; i.e. no support for host
language array types, neither to be declared as SQL ARRAY type nor
directly passed as parameters. The ARRAY data type is limited to use in
SQL routines [PROCEDURE ¿FUNCTION? ¿TRIGGER?] and Java external
procedures; the JDBC can invoke a routine declared with an ARRAY typed
parameter. The additional functions UNNEST and ARRAY_AGG enable the
transition the representation of the values between column data in rows
and elements of an array. Some more information that may be of value;
included at the end of the first link below, are more links; two of
which should match those that I included further below:
