RE: SQL - SQL0305 Indicator variable required.

I went back and RTFM regarding the like predicate.  Seems that a host
variable, lets say 10A, set with a value of '/xyz%' will look for /xyz,
any particular character and 5 blanks.  My options were to put a load of %
at the end, or use a variable length field.  I chose the variable length
field and this worked.

thanks

Thank you for the coalesce tip.  I read up about it and it sounded just
like the trick.  So I tested it and that error went away.

Now, for another problem with the program.

     ...
     C/EXEC SQL
     C+ Fetch C1 into :Directory
     C/END-EXEC

      /free
       dow sqlcod=0;
        Directory=%trim(Directory) + '%';
        Dirsize=*zeros;
      /end-free

     C/EXEC SQL
     C+ Select coalesce(sum(ifslsiz),0) into :Dirsize
     C+ From ifslist
     C+ Where ifsldir like :Directory
     C/END-EXEC
      * I am no longer getting the SQL error.
      * However the value of dirsize and SQLCOD are always zero.
      * (I realize that SQLCOD being zero is a good thing.)
      * But if I run the sample via STRSQL I get a value:
      * Select coalesce(sum(ifslsiz),0)
      * From ifslist
      * Where ifsldir like '/gdisys02%'
     ...
