Development perspective in RDP. How does one pull information out of
a program described file through SQL? Or am I SOL and need to write
a program?
Given the noted effect from the interactive SQL reporting, seems
probable the field(s) have only\all character data [e.g. USEnglish]? If
so, then the following might suffice:
SELECT CAST(FldName AS VARCHAR(32000) CCSID 37) FROM PgmDsc_PF
/* other choices for varchar vs char and size might be preferred */
The better option IMO is to just create the equivalent externally
described file(s) [with columns reflecting the proper CCSID of the data]
and then to copy the corresponding data to the equivalent file(s).
There should be very few requirements to maintain a file as program
described, since even an externally described file can be [re]described
by a program.?
