Re: Why a data structure subfield with the same name of a file field does not keep the same data type? -- MIDRANGE-L

These are the first 5 fields of TBLSTR
A UNIQUE
A R RTBLSTR TEXT('Store Information')
A STRNUM R REFFLD(LOCATNP050 JDAREF )
A COLHDG('Store Number')
A EDTCDE(Z)
A STRNAM R REFFLD(CHRCTRA030 JDAREF )
A COLHDG('Store Name')
A STADD1 R REFFLD(ADDRESA035 JDAREF )
A COLHDG('Address Line 1')
A STADD2 R REFFLD(ADDRESA035 JDAREF )
A COLHDG('Address Line 2')
A STADD3 R REFFLD(ADDRESA035 JDAREF )
A COLHDG('Address Line 3')
As you can see, It's defined using DDS .
LOCATNP050 is packed(5:0), CHRCTRA030 is char(30), ADDRESA035 is char(35).

DS 'test' is needed because in the programs being converted from fixed to
free format there are lots of KLISTs, which I am trying to convert into DS
to use as %kds, and I think this may cause other problems: when a DS
contains a variable defined with the same name of a database field and no
type/length, the compiler takes only the length from the original database
field, not the type, so the compilation list shows 2 different variables
with the same name and length but different type (packed and zoned). I
think this is another critical point.

Anyway, even after removing the DS 'test' the problem with the procedure
still persists.

The only way I found to have the program compiling and working is to define
a template record with prefixes, and use those prefixed fields as the
'like' argument everywhere in the source code.

I will try your code as is. Can you give me your TBLSTR table's structure?
No contents, no problem, but just to replicate this with more precision. I
would populate it with some data. Also if it is a DDS PF or an SQL table.

Why would you want structure "test" for? If you are not using it, can you
comment that out and try again?

exec sql

where STRNUM = :pSTRNUM and STRNAM = :pSTRNAM

return count;
end-proc;

When the SQL statement inside UpdFile procedure is commented, then the
compiles and works (returning 0 of course).
When the SQL statement is active, then this is the error I got:

I think SQL is global and the parameters are local to the procedure.

Hi all,
I am struggling with a subfield definition issue which I haven't

understood

yet, and it's driving me crazy!

In a program, an update keyed physical file is defined with a packed

(5,

0)

key field.
The file definition is global, like this:
dcl-f tblstr disk usage(*input) keyed;
The program passes that key field plus a second field to a procedure,

and

the procedure uses those fields in an embedded SQL, like this:
dcl-proc UpdFile;
dcl-pi *n zoned(5:0);
x_STRNUM like(STRNUM) value;
x_STRNAM like(STRNAM) value;
end-pi;
dcl-s count zoned(5:0) inz(0);
message = '4-' + %char(x_STRNUM) + %trim(x_STRNAM);
dsply message ' ';
exec sql
select count(*)
into :count
from tblstr
where STRNUM = :x_STRNUM and STRNAM = :x_STRNAM
;
return count;
end-proc;

Well, the program doesn't compile, because both x_STRNUM and x_STRNAM

are

not usable by the SQL statement:
Position 21 Variable X_STRNUM not defined or not usable.
Reason: No declaration for the variable exists,

the

declaration is not within the current scope, or

the

variable does not have an equivalent SQL data

type.

The same for x_STRNAM.

When the SQL 'where' clause is commented, the program compiles and it
works, meaning the 'dsply' operation code is correctly executed.

I tried different options, like adding value to the parameters passed

and

casting the rpg variables used within the SQL statement, but I can't

get

rid of the issue.

The idea I get from all the tries is that file's fields used to

define

the

input parameters of the procedure are not recognized by SQL, so the
variables inside the procedure are for some reason unusable.

What am I missing? Does any of you have any idea about it?

Any hint or suggestion is greatly appreciated as converting fixed RPG
programs to free format includes many of these situation.

Thanks!
Lucia
