RE: Calling a DB procedure from another DB

[shalom@xxxxxxxxxx]

Ali,
To work with output parameters, you must define a stored procedure based
on the CL/RPG/COBOL program. 

For example,

 CREATE PROCEDURE ALI/DOIT(    
    in action      char(10 )         
  , out msg      varchar(100)         
                              )      
                                     
  DETERMINISTIC                      
  NO SQL                             
  EXTERNAL NAME   ALI/DOITPGM     
  PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL
