Re: data structure input parameter

I was interpreting the statement about the length of the string to mean
that the numeric value of the string was also passed as part of the DS. It
sounds like that is not the case.

Thanks,
Todd

Numeric fields in a data structure are zoned by default, so they
shouldn't cause a problem. A data structure *is* a big string that can
be subdivided with an RPG definition. The length of the string is the
length of the data structure.

one field, with the total length of the data structure? These are the

sort

of things I need to find out if we're going to try to make this work.
If the data structure is treated as one long string, then it seems the
numeric fields in the DS could cause problems and make this more trouble
than it's worth. I've not seen anything in the JT400 toolbox for data
structures that would apply here.

Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks,

What's the problem? Don't forget that the parm is actually just one
field, with the total length of the data structure, so you'll have to
assemble the appropriate structure on the caller. Are you trying to
define the subfields on the stored proc? You can't. What error(s) are
you getting on the call?

Subject: data structure input parameter


Has anyone used an external SQL stored procedure that wraps around an
RPG
program that has a data structure as an input parameter.
So far my searches have been fruitless so I'm hoping someone can tell me
if
this is possible or not.

Thanks,
Todd
