Re: Something in SQl that I assumed woulld work

My understanding is that by default in sql parameters are VARCHAR and must be explicitly cast to CHAR.

It looks like it had to be - but surely '0049' is already cast as CHAR 4

Obviously not, but looking at what I had wrote (written?) it WAS char 4

Hi Alan,

Could the problem be that when you try to call the procedure with '0049'
the type must be CAST?

Hi everyone
Before I forget, we are on V7r1

Let me lay the groundwork first
We have a procedure in a service program that if you input the suffix
and product number, the available quantity is returned
>From that procedure. I created an SQL function on this procedure


I have no problems running the following sql script

Select Isuffx, skuno, idescr, itemavail(isuffx, skuno) as Available_qty from prodfa.itmmstp where isuffx = '0034'

Where isuffx is the suffix, skuno is the product number, itemavail is
the sql function and prodfa.itmmstp is the item master

We have a separate suffix (0049) that is used as a reserve - so I was
wanting to display that available quantity at the same time So I tried
Select Isuffx, skuno, idescr, itemavail(isuffx, skuno) as
Available_qty, itemavail('0049', skuno) as Avail_qty0049 from prodfa.itmmstp where isuffx = '0034'
and within STRSQL I get the message
ITEMAVAIL in *libl type *N not found
With the cursor on the sql function with 0049 specified

I was just wondering if this is the way the script SHOULD be giving this response?

I realize that I can create a CTE with a join - but was just wondering
