RE: Retrieve SQLCODE descriptions programmatically?

SQLCODE translates to message id's as follows:

Take absolute value of SQLCODE
Represent that as a 5 digit number
If the leading digit is zero change it to an 'L'
Prepend 'SQ' and you have the message ID.

Ex.
SQLCODE -501
Abs(-501) = 501
Make that 00501
Since leading digit is 0 make it an 'L'
Prepend SQ and the message id is SQL0501

SQLCODE -20054
Abs(-20054) = 20054
Prepend SQ and the message id is SQ20054

However, if memory serves data in SQLERRM is delimited with x'FF' not fixed
length and RTVMSG needs fixed length so you need some way of knowing how
long the message data should be.

Are you basically talking RTVMSG? Negative SQLCOD translate to message
description IDs, with a little work, right?

Don't have one here. Nice idea.
