Re: SQL UDF to return one column from a row

Hi, Dan:

See:
http://iprodeveloper.com/rpg-programming/apis-example-parsing-externally-defined-record-buffers

Carsten Flensburg presents procedures to work with externally described files -- one is called "GetFldVal" ...

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

Your question caught my eye because I'm just now working a utility function

KeyValue.

rlaColGet(FileName, ColumnName, KeyValue);

Nathan,

Any chance you'll publish the code for that? If not, will it be all SQL
