Re: SQL on V5R1

Rob,

Read the whole thread / message...

He's dealing with v5r1, which doesn't have IDENTITY and thus doesn't have
​
IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL...

I suggested a BEFORE INSERT trigger could emulate some of the functionality
butt that there would be downsides.

Lots of downsides to this, including the fact that there'd be no built in
way to let the program doing the write know what identity value was
generated.

There are multiple ways of learning the last generated identity column.
One is by the scalar built in function
​​
IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL as in
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE
(NAME, SALARY, DEPTNO)
VALUES('Rupert', 989.99, 50)

VALUES IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() INTO :IVAR
I suspect this came out when, or after, support for GENERATED was added
