RE: DB2 UDF written in C

Have you read the "Stored Procedures, Triggers and User Defined Functions on
DB2 Universal Database for iSeries" redbook. Here is a link to downloadable
PDF: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246503.html?Open

You don't show it, so let me ask, did you compile this module into a service
program PGMRPGMLIB/DEBUGOUT?
Do 'fileName' and 'message' get passed in as struct that has a short 2 byte
integer value giving you the length of the data, followed by the data
itself?

Subject: [C400-L] DB2 UDF written in C

I am trying to a create a DB2 function that writes output to a file.
I am close, but it does not seem to work. Does anyone know what the
problem could be ?




/*                                       
    This method will be called from DB2

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

void DEBUGOUT( char* fileName,             
    char* message,                      
    int* ValRet,                         
    short* inind,

        if( ( fp = fopen( fileName, "a" )) != NULL )
        {
                time( &now );
                ptr = localtime( &now );
                strftime(buf1, 80, "%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S %p", ptr);

                *ValRet = fprintf( fp, "%s %s\n", buf1, message  );

                fclose( fp );
        }
        else
        {
            *ValRet = 0;
            *outind = 0;                        
        }
}

select ( '/tmp/out.txt', 'Hello' ) from sysibm/sysdummy1

I am only getting back 0.
