RE: Calling a DB procedure from another DB

Thanks Charles!

 I am now able to call CL, COBOL, RPG programs using the
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON-QUERY function. But now, another problem
has popped up:

It works fine if my AS/400 program does not have any parameters or has
only input parameters. But if my program has any output parameters, then
the call fails. I am using the proper sequence (open_cursor,
parse,bind_variable etc)

Any pointers/idea on why is this happening?

Regards,
Ali Asgar Juzer

Update....

While it remains true that you can't seem to use a simple CALL statement
with Generic Connectivity.

You may find DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH to be of use....

Good luck finding examples of how to use it though.  So far I've found:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:47437
19073967

There's some information about Passthrough SQL using DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH
in the Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide manual.
