Re: SQL Statement failing in COBOL program -- COBOL400-L

Maybe I'm just missing something - but how can you replace characters in a
packed field? It doesn't have any.

As to the compare - are you looking for an exact match with the SSN field?
In which case are you implying .00 after that last character or are the last
two characters considered to be the decimal places. Either way in order to
compare the two you're either going to have to cast the character to numeric
or the numeric to character as a minimum.

Tom,

Here are the relevant parts of the SQLCBLLE source;
------------------------------ Start of source copy

Working storage.

END-EXEC

Exec SQL Open LtrC1 End-Exec

*-------------------------------------------------------------

* Get the next record

*-------------------------------------------------------------
--------*
exec sql
fetch ltrc1 into :WS-SQL-Fetch
end-exec

------------------ End Source copy
----------------------------- Note; All fields selected
except the BOND number are stored in character format in the
files. Not my design, just what I have to work with. The
BRQDVA field is stored as a packed number in 9999999.99
format. I have to compare with a character "999999999"
field. I adapted some suggestions to come up with the
replace in the WHERE clause.

The select statement works in STRSQL and iNav Run SQL Scripts
with no errors I thought it was the host variables, but they
match what has worked in other SQLCBBLLE programs I have done.

using the cursor name, that is when I get the error with no data.

Jim:

[x-posted to COBOL400-L, I hope; please reply there]

When you have it available, can you show the FETCH? Since the error
occurs at that time, perhaps that's worth seeing. (And if you found
the problem already, can we hear the resolution?)

Part of the problem seems related to "Ran the statement in iNav
scripts" although I'm not clear how iNav handles DECLARE CURSOR.
When you use embedded FETCH for the noted SELECT, you

necessarily add

the complexity of host variables.

As a work around I used the statement to create a file using
STRSQL, put the code in a QMQry as an insert, and insert the
records into a temp table with a CL wrapper. I then

open the temp

file with the COBOL program to process. That's the long way
around! The temp file does not show any data problems.

Jim:

You've shown the DECLARE CURSOR, but I don't recall

seeing what you

actually _do_ with the CURSOR in your COBOL program... ?
