Peter,
        I would suggest that you use the system views for this processing.
No guarantee that IBM will not change the underlying table that the views
are built over.  Plus, they are segmented into specific information that is
relevant to the type of data they return.  You will need SYSCOLUMNS.  The
format of the SYS* views is (I believe) a SQL standard, but QADBIFLD is not.
Since there is no way to dynamically create a null bit map structure (that I
came up with) you are going to need to define it based on the view as it is
today.


Thank you,

Subject: SQLCODE -305

Hi group,

I have a strange SQLRPGLE problem.

When I try to get a list of files using a certain field on screen using an
embedded SQL RPGLE program, I get no info on the screen, but when I execute
the SQL statment in interactive SQL, I do get a number of records.

These are the relevant program specs:

 *
d  DsQaDbiFld   e ds                  extname(qadbifld)

c/exec sql
c+ Declare CR1 cursor for
c+  Select *
c+  From qadbifld
c+  Where dbifld = :k1fld
c+  Order by dbilib, dbifil, dbifmt
c/end-exec
 *
c/exec sql
c+ open CR1
c/end-exec
 *
c                   Dou       SqlCod <> *zeros
 *
c/exec sql
c+ fetch CR1 into :DsQaDbiFld
c/end-exec
 *
c                   If        SqlCod = *zeros
 .... some processing
c                   Endif
c                   Enddo

The SQLCOD is -305.

According to the IBM site this means that an indicator variable is
required.

The archives indicate that you have to provide an additional field for
every field that is null-capable.

Does this mean that I have to manually specify all fields in DsQaDbiFld,
adding additional fields for every field that is null-capable, or is there
an easy way to tell
the program to substitute null numeric fields by *zero and null alpha
fields by *blanks, while still retaining the easy EXTNAME keyword?

Thanks for any help with this.
