RE: Error handling in SQL Stored Procedure

Thanks for the responses.

I may have overcomplicated this (or under-thought it).

I'm working on a stored procedure that is pure SQL. So it's not SQL embedded in RPG. I was using Run SQL Scripts from iNavigator to test my stored procedure and it returned a message about a duplicate record. It gave me the impression that the stored procedure had a hard stop on the failed statement. But if it's like how SQL runs in RPG, I suppose it wouldn't stop, and I can check the SQL State as I would have in RPG.

I just got done wrapping most SQL we send to SQL Server in a Try/Catch so I was looking for something to that extent.

I haven't had a chance to apply any ideas proposed yet. Will hopefully get back to that project this afternoon.

I found the error handling section in the redbook on Stored Procedures (etc), thanks Vern.

Thanks,
Kurt

Hi, Kurt:

Try this google search: "os/400 db2 error handling in embedded
sql" (without the quotes)

The first link:

http://www.mcpressonline.com/tips-techniques/sql/techtip-simple-error-handling-in-embedded-sql.html

appears to be a good intro.

See also the Redbook"Stored Procedures, Triggers and User-Defined Functions on DB2 UDB for iSeries"

mentioned in a previous reply by Vern Hamburg.

HTH,

I'm at IBM i 7.1 and I just created a stored procedure to insert a record into a file (and return the identity created). However, I'm not sure how to apply error handling (to monitor for such things as a duplicate record error). I ran a bunch of searches, but I must not be using the right words. I've looked for Exception, Error handling, try, catch, and monitor.
I'm using this document as my main source of info:

Can anyone show me the path toward error handling in SQL on the IBM i?

Thanks,
Kurt
