Re: Fetching into different host variable types

Rob,

I Missed the original post, but Simon is correct. You do
need an SQLDA or to use the Call Level Interface (CLI).
If you are interested, you can download a set of procedures
I created that supports running dynamic SQL statements
and the SQLDA. They are part of the iSeries-toolkit.

Here are some links to an example that shows how this is used
and also the source for the DYNSQL prototype and module:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/iseries-toolkit/CVSROOT/src/qrpglesrc/dynsql.sir?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

There is a lot more support for the SQLDA and I am working
on a file generation procedure (you give it an SQL statement
and it will create a file based on the statement). To download
the full package, go to:

It's been a very long time since I did anything like this but I think
you
need to build an SQLDA to accomplish this.  You could probably use the
SQL
CLI APIs also.
