Re: QSQCLIPKGx


Hi Todd,

Take a look at:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v510/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.wp.ent.doc/wpf/is_cr_rem_db2.html

and scan for "CCSID". I realize you probably aren't using the portal, but this appears to be the most comprehensive description. Note the "Temporarily change the CCSID for jobs to 37". You may have other problems later, but that should allow the package to be created.

If you want to be bored: I talked with the I18N guy (name withheld because I'm a nice guy) at COMMON, San Antonio, *1997* about the 65535 problem. My own solution was to make 65535 match the system CCSID, like 37, and make binary an explicit choice with another CCSID, my suggestion being 65534. After all, how many times have you (you being anyone) said, "oh, I want everything to be binary so no other system can understand it without its own conversion routine" ???

I realized that would cause come pain, and I thought they could probably come up with a better solution, as long as the default wasn't binary, which explicitly says "no translation." But, I was basically given an it ain't gonna change. Since then the amount of time lost to 65535 issues is incalculable. The latest, AFAIK, was to just dump the problem on the customer. The particularly disgusting thing about it is that those who initially set up their AS/400 are probably not versed in I18N issues or even aware at that point that 65535 will cause so many headaches.

I'm stopping before it becomes a rant (hope it didn't already,) but there you have it. It just seems to me that with as many smart people as there are in computing, someone who could do something should have seen that one coming. Whatever else one thinks of Java, I18N considerations were built in from the beginning.

Anyhow, I hope the link above helps with your problem.

To answer the questions:

- No, WAS is not trying to connect to itself. It runs on a separate system
and connects to a database system.

- The SQL is a simple stored procedure call

- The System.Out log shows the error for the missing SQL package in the
QGPL library
This is followed by a stack trace, which was caused by the JDBC connection
error

- The target system is not on the same box

The error seems to point to an i-specific problem but don't know what that
is yet.

Thanks,
Todd

We should take a step back, I think, since this works fine on your PC. I
-suspect- that this has to do with your trying to connect back to your WAS
6.1 V5R4 system from itself using DRDA.

What does the SQL statement that you're passing to the JDBC driver look
like? Does the stack trace for the "SQL package..." error indicate that
this exception arises from an action being initiated by your program or by
WAS itself? Is the DB2/400 system that you're trying to connect to on the
same box as WAS. If so, have a look at the Integrated Solutions Console at
Resources -> JDBC -> Data Sources -> Database name. I don't have an
iSeries
copy of WAS but I'm used to one on zSeries z/OS. The Database name should
be blank if you're trying to connect to a local instance to DB2.

HTH,
Gary

The user CCSID is set to the system value, which is 65535 (none), as are
all users. I don't know that I can change that.

The exact error message is:

java.sql.SQLException: INTERNAL ERROR: Creation of DB2Driver object for
registering with DriverManager failed. ->
com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2JDBCDataException: CCSID value is not valid.

This is the result of calling the following Java command, asnoted in the
IBM page.

JAVA CLASS(com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2PackageCreator) ('system' 'user'
'password')

Thanks,
Todd

A SWAG given no details of what are the "several errors that the
CCSID value is wrong", in neither message ID nor text:

For the user profile under which the SQL work is being performed,
issue the CL request on a command line for the server:
DSPUSRPRF TheUserProfile /* Review the CCSID setting */

Presumably the CCSID setting shown by the DSPUSRPRF request is *HEX
or 65535, instead of an EBCDIC CCSID which enable conversion to ASCII.
The recovery is probably achieved by issuing the CL request on a command
line for the server, then establishing a new connection with that user:
CHGUSRPRF TheUserProfile CCSID(Valid_CCSID) /* A valid CCSID for US
English EBCDIC is 37 */
