Re: Foreign key causing Error:55019 Message:SQLSTATE=55019 SQLCODE=-7008

Yeah, you've run into the object-based nature of the IBM i - you can call programs, you can't call commands. Unlike in DOS, where a .CMD and a .EXE are both executables, a *CMD and a *PGM are different creatures. A *CMD typically ends up being the thing that calls a *PGM - there are alternatives, such as a REXX procedure that can be a command-processing procedure - probably more than you wanted to know, eh? :)

There are documents that fully explain all this stuff - if you look only
at the command parameters, you can get lots of information, but it's not
going to give you a full picture.

Hint taken, its time to RTFM regarding journals.

As to QCMDEXC -- it is already something that can be called as a stored
procedure - no need to register it - this is true about every program on
the system.

I meant registering ADDPFM as a stored procedure, but it seems the one
exception to "everything can be a stored proc on the IBM i" is CL commands.
I'm a little concerned about the potential for SQL injection for a proc
that passes a string to QCMDEXEC, but yes I need to read up, and initially
I'm writing a stored procedure only I will call on a system where I have
QSECOFR.
