RE: RPG Embedded SQL - problem with CONCAT -- RPG400-L

You don't need concat twice, this statement below should do it:

CONCAT (DIGITS(rdjeyr),DIGITS(rdjemo)) AS date

Good luck.

Subject: RPG Embedded SQL - problem with CONCAT

Hey fellow programmers & genius,

I have this problem the CONCAT in my embedded SQL. I am stringing three fields together. That works fine. The problem is when I try to test against the field I am building. Am I able to do this or am I just wrong on the syntax?

Please help.

My error code is a -514. When I cut and paste the statement from debug and run interactively I get an error that states that the field DATE can't be found. The exact statement is "Column DATE not in specified tables" which is true because I am creating it. If I remove the test it runs without errors.

The following is what I cut from debug which is much more readable:

SELECT rdbrr, rditem, rdpack ,rdbttl, rdcase, imwgal, impcse ,
DIGITS(rdject) CONCAT DIGITS(rdjeyr) CONCAT DIGITS(rdjemo) AS date
FROM rrrdmast, icmsmp WHERE rditem = imitem AND rdpack = impack AND
rdbrr = 38 AND ((date >= "200101") or (date <= "200106"))

The following is what I cut directly from my program:

c                   eval      sql_string2 = 'SELECT rdbrr, rditem, rdpack -*
c                             ,rdbttl, rdcase, imwgal, impcse, -
c                             DIGITS(rdject) CONCAT DIGITS(rdjeyr) CONCAT -
c                             DIGITS(rdjemo) AS date -        &nb! sp;
c                             FROM rrrdmast, icmsmp -
c                             WHERE rditem = imitem AND rdpack = impack -
c                             AND rdbrr = ' + %editc(mwwhse:'X') +         *
c   &n! bsp;                          ' AND ((date >= "' + beg_date + '") or -
c                             (date <= "' + end_date + '"))'

c/exec sql  &nb! sp;
c+ PREPARE p2 FROM : sql_string2
C/end-exec                                            &nb! sp;           & nbsp;
c/exec sql
c+ DECLARE data2 CURSOR FOR p2
C/end-exec                          &! nbsp;
c/exec sql
C+ OPEN data2                                                 &n! bsp;
C/end-exec
C                   Dow       sqlcod = 0
C/exec sql                      &n! bsp;
C+ FETCH data2 INTO :sql_input2
C/end-exec                                                               &nb! sp;

Thanks in Advance:

PS I wasn't sure if this was to be in midrange-l or rpg-l.
