I wonder if this is a normal behavior of embedded SQL. I've recently begun working with the latest version of the BPCS ERP package, and have come across a rather nasty situation. It seems that what SSA did was to create a fat order entry client in C, then when their fat client initiative failed, they rewrote the C code into AS/SET code on the AS/400 and made it into a green screen. I'm sure you can see that there are quite a few scary things in that statement, but let's move to the specific one. Evidently, the C programmer was fond of using SELECT INTO, and in fact would use this regularly to retrieve single fields from different files. These got translated back to the AS/400 as embedded SQL in the generated RPG code (AS/SET, for those who haven't worked with it, is basically a CASE tool that generates RPG code). So now we have a 44000-line (yes, that's 44000 - as in cannot be edited by SEU) RPG program with embedded SQL. I ran the program recently to try and see where a certain field was getting updated, and for the heck of it, I did a quick check of the open files using option 14 of DSPJOB. I almost choked when I saw that there were FOUR HUNDRED AND FORTY THREE open data paths. Many files had 20 or more ODPs over them. I am assuming that this is because of the various SELECT INTO statements. What do you folks think? > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com > [mailto:owner-midrange-l@midrange.com]On Behalf Of David Keck > Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2001 2:29 AM > To: Midrange-L > Subject: Embedded SQL + Closing an ODP > > > I have an ILE RPG program comprised in part of an SQLRPGLE > module, compiled > with > > Commitment control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *NONE > Relational database . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *LOCAL > Naming convention . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *SYS > Allow copy of data . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *OPTIMIZE > Allow blocking . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *ALLREAD > Delay PREPARE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *NO > Close SQL cursor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *ENDMOD > > After ... > > C/EXEC SQL open @Cursor > C/END-EXEC > > an ODP is created as can be seen via WRKJOB 14.
