RE: Using SQL UDF in SQLRPGLE program gets decimal data error

Peter,
        Whether or not you use DEC() or NUM() as the UDF definition I do not
think should matter.  But, if you look back in recent posts you'll see
things that the SQL pre-compiler does or does not do that are not completely
compatible with RPGLE.  I had one where a procedure parameter was defined
with CONST and I tried to use the %ADDR().  It worked as a SQLRPGLE but not
as RPGLE.

I do know that RPGLE is supposed to convert similar data types to the actual
data types used on procedure parameters where the CONST keyword is
specified.   I know the SQL can do the same.  Can you get away from
SQLRPGLE? I thought you indicated that it is the only one that causes issues
or in your prepared SQL statement have the UDF return in the results set.
Then you might not need to run the same UDF again in the program.


SELECT *, ELAPSEDHOURS(ELDATE,ELTIMI,ELDATE,ELTIMO) as ELPSHRS
 FROM ERPLOG
  WHERE ELDATE BETWEEN 20020601 AND 20020631 AND
ELAPSEDHOURS(ELDATE,ELTIMI,ELDATE,ELTIMO) < 24

P.S. Have you tried to DEBUG the UDF when calling it from the different
sources?

Thank you,

Hi Matt,

I tried changing the CREATE FUNCTION to use NUMERIC instead of DEC, and it
fails with a decimal data error when I try the SELECT interactively.  I
would've thought it would work since it's zoned to zoned.  This is really
getting interesting!
