Re: Reading a VIEW in a CLLE

Hi

A VIEW is a kind of LF, yes, that has a SELECT statement. But I've never tried reading one in CL, so I tried it. And it worked - the field variables had values. This was with a view I created.

So I tried OUTQ_INFO, and it also worked - EVAL &OUTQ had the value '??QPRINT' - that is a VARCHAR, so the ?? is the length in 2 bytes.

This was on a 7.4 box.

Now I had used ALWGRAPHIC(*YES) the first time, thinking I'd cover the waterfront - esp. if there were a Unicode field - but I don't think OUTQ_INFO has one - DSPFFD didn't say there was one.

But I then ran it without ALWGRAPHIC - it was just fine.

So I don't know why you aren't getting fields filled - now I didn't use the override - not sure what that is doing in your case.

Cheers
Vern

I am using the system view OUTQ_INFO in a program.
Basically:
PGM
DCLF OUT_INFO ALWVARLEN(*YES) ALWNULL(*YES)
OVRDBF OUTQ_INFO SHARE(*YES)
RCVF
Monmsg CPF0000 GOTO END
......
END:
ENDPGM

Problem:
The program is reading records but the field values are not available in
the program.

What am I missing?
