Re: Embedded SQL Dynamic Selection

I've taken the program and the file and drastically cut it down...and now
it compiles. I don't believe I have any null capable fields in the file -
it's a DDS created file, so I don't think there's an option to make a field
null capable, right? I think I'll try and add fields back to the file and
see if at some point that breaks it.

Michael,

First thing to check, of course, position 55 of your DS must be a
compatible data
type and length.

For some reason, the phrase:

Host structure array WKINVMSTP not defined or not usable<

makes me think of what can happen when a sql statement returns a field(s)
that can have a null value.

In that case, the sql statement must be able to return a separate
null indicator field for each null capable field, so your program
would need to be designed for that.

Here is an example where field names starting with # are the
"data" field and field names starting with $ are the null
indicator for that field:

C/EXEC SQL FETCH C1 INTO :#FLD1,
C+ :#FLD2,
C+ :#FLD3 : $FLD3,
C+ :#FLD4 : $FLD4
C/END-EXEC

Hope this helps.

Darn...was hoping you were on to something Kurt. Still receiving the same
error. This is frustrating.

I should really keep track of all the RPG functions that the SQL
pre-compiler does not support. When I get a host variable not usable
message, I tend to go through a number of iterations to finally end up
with a variable that will work.

A couple things I am aware of:
Host arrays can't have a dimension that's defined by a constant
"variable." Meaning Dim(10) will work, but Dim(MAX_ELEMENTS) will not
work if MAX_ELEMENTS is defined as a constant. I think it'll work if
defined as a variable, but I can't remember for sure.
Host variables/structures cannot be defined LIKE a Template
variable/structure (I might be leaping in logic here, the Templates I
deal with are all qualified data structures, so it could be that the
Template limitation has to do with qualified DS's only).
Host structures cannot be defined using LIKEREC. I've had to use
ExtName instead. (The SQL police might show up and say "Don't do
Select *!" but I do this in file encapsulated service programs to load
a global data structure array that all of the Gets and Sets access.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on any of these. Or add to them.

Hi Bob...yup, the MODS WkInvMstP is defined in the D specs, well
before any of the SQL statements. Thanks.

Make sure your variable is defined earlier in your code than the
placement of the SQL statement. Actually earlier in the code
listing, the fact that you program may hit the definition first
while running does not make a difference. Of course all your
variables are defined in the D specs so this may not be the issue.

Thanks for looking at this Birgitta. I 'fat fingered' the error
message...it's SQL5011:

SQL5011: Position 55 Host structure array WKINVMSTP not defined or
not usable

on this statement:

Fetch Next From C1 For :Maxrows Rows Into :Wkinvmstp;

Thanks!

Error Message means SQL0511 - Not allowed for update.
Multiple row fetches cannot be used if you want to update your
table directly using a cursor and specify the WHERE CURRENT OF
Clause in the update statement.

The error message has nothing to do with static and dynamic SQL
or
using
host variables or parameter markers.
Multiple row fetches are also not allowed for dynamic SQL with
Update.

So folks...sorry to be a pest...but is the reason I'm getting an
SQL5011
on
this statement:

Fetch C1 For :Maxrows Rows Into :Wkinvmstp;

Is because my Declare looks like this:

Exec SQL
DECLARE C1 CURSOR FOR
Select * From INVMSTP
Where Imvnda Between :HostFld1 And :HostFld2 And ...
(a long statement)

and it needs to be parameter markers instead of host variables in
the
WHERE
clause?
