Short answer: Not directly!

What you could do (in CL):
1. Generate a View based on a SELECT Statement where your code is used, i.e.
something like this:
CHGVAR &CRTVIEW 'CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW QTEMP as (SELECT
GENERATE_SPREADSHEET(.....)...
RUNSQL &CRTVIEW ...
2. Declare the view as file
3. Read this view

... in either way I'd suggest to either write a RPG Program or an SQL Stored
procedure in which you'll generate the Spreadsheet and then call the RPG or
SQL Stored Procedure from your CL.

Subject: Can one do a RUNSQL command with VALUES?

I need to do the following. Can it be done?

chgvar &wSqlCmd value('VALUES SYSTOOLS.GENERATE_SPREADSHEET('
+

*tcat 'PATH_NAME => ' +

*bcat '''/tmp/FLT855''' +

*tcat ',' +

*bcat 'SPREADSHEET_QUERY => ' +

*bcat '''select * from dppdata.flt855p2''' +

*tcat ',' +

*bcat 'SPREADSHEET_TYPE => ''xlsx'',' +

*bcat 'COLUMN_HEADINGS => ''LABEL'' )')

RUNSQL SQL(&wsqlcmd) COMMIT(*NONE) NAMING(*SQL)



chgvar &wSqlCmd value('VALUES SYSTOOLS.SEND_EMAIL(' +

*tcat 'TO_EMAIL => ''dfreinkel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'',' +

*bcat 'SUBJECT => ''Regenerated FLT855 as requested ''' +

*bcat 'concat (select host_name from
sysibmadm.env_sys_info),' +

*bcat 'BODY => ''Time extracted ''' +

*bcat 'concat current timestamp,' +

*bcat 'ATTACHMENT => ''/tmp/FLT855.xlsx'' )' )

RUNSQL SQL(&wsqlcmd) COMMIT(*NONE) NAMING(*SQL)



Can this be done?


Thank you.
