Re: _Rwrite to db with default value

Hi,
It would be a biggest surprise for me, if what you ask is possible....
To say more - using _Rwrite you can put whatever into the file, even data that will be completely unreadable using QRY or SQL due to type error.
But you can use the same _Rwrite to repair the errors as well.

My understanding is that as _Rwrite accepts (void *) to the structure that represents the record, it just sends a buffer - no tests apply.

However people from overseas (I mean US) will wake soon - see what they say....

Definitely someone will say that THIS is one of the reasons why you should use RPG rather than C :-)

Subject: [C400-L] _Rwrite to db with default value

Hello,

If I have DDL defined tables with columns holding DB2 generated values such
as ROWID, defaults as CURRENT_TIMESTAMP etc - how do I code a write to
records like that using _Rwrite? To be overly clear, I don't want to
generate say the timestamp in my code, I want DB2 to insert the current
timestamp for each write on these types of columns. Any input appreciated.

Thank you,
Erik
