Re: CSVGEN?

sorry for not letting this go, but I'm curious if you could still "automatically" get the column names is you ran this:

select * from table (
qsys2.parse_statement('put your SQL in this space you''l have to add a quote to any single quotes in the SQL like field = ''ABC'' '));

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=services-parse-statement-table-function

I just ran across and tried on a couple of SQLs that I have that have joins.

Thanks for the input, but that won't work in this case...

I'm doing a select of various fields from two SQL views that are joined.

I recall taking the file name being inputted and execute the following SQL to start the CSV creation process.

SELECT
LISTAGG(CAST(Qsys2.Delimit_Name(Column_Name) AS CLOB(1M)), ', ') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY Ordinal_Position) AS Column_List
FROM Qsys2.Syscolumns2 C
WHERE Table_Name = UPPER('QCUSTCDT')
AND Table_Schema = 'QIWS'
AND Hidden = 'N' ;

I thought it appropriate to start a different thread...I've moved on from systools.generate_spreadsheet.

Maybe this belongs in RPG forum?



I'm currently experimenting with Scott's CSVGEN using DATA-GEN, but I'm not sure how to get column headings using this method.

I was hoping it worked like YAJLDTAGEN that uses the DS names.



Anyone use this?

TIA,

Greg
