Re: Operand for *EQ function not valid error

This sets up fine for me via copy/paste. When I change the file and
variables, it executes without error.

My suggestion: recheck your variable attributes. Next step: build/test the
routine one clause at a time. Your hand slapping your forehead will leave
a mark when you see your dumb mistake, probably the same dumb mistake I've
made more than once.

It says the *EQ in question is at position 52 in the QRYSLT parameter.

fld1 *EQ "AB" *AND fld2 *EQ "ABCD" *AND fld3 *EQ " " *AND fld4 *EQ
"06012021"
.........1.........2.........3.........4.........5..

which doesn't match up, but that may be because of copy/paste issues.
Can you verify which *EQ it's complaining about?

..just to mention fld1 is of type *char (length 2) and fld2 is

*char(length

4) and fld3 is of *char(length 3) and fld 4 is also * char and length is
8(having date value in it of DDMMYYYY format)

So unable to figure out which value is not compatible with * EQ here in
OPNQRYF.


..Thanks

I so do not miss OPNQRYF. Since embedded sql I've found no further use

Hi,

In one of my CL program I am getting this error in OPNQRYF statement.

*Operand for *EQ function not valid.*

OPNQRYF FILE((QTEMP/f1)) QRYSLT('fld1 *EQ "AB" *AND fld2 *EQ "ABCD" *AND
fld3 *EQ " " *AND fld4 *EQ "06012021" ')

And additional message stating cause on pressing 'F1' for above error
message is

Message ID :- CPD3131 Severity : 30
Message Type:- Diagnostic




"The operator or built-in function *EQ, was specified at position 52 in

the

expression on the QRYSLT parameter.If the error occurred on the MAPFLD
parameter,the expression was specified for the definition of field *N.

For

the %Range,%VALUES,and %WLDCRD built -in functions,the error may be

caused

by the first operand for the *EQ operator that is associated with the

built

-in function. Conditions that can cause this error includes:-.......
........
......
................

So any idea what is wrong going here in my OPNQRYF statement?


Thanks much...
