The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Hi,
Is there another way of embedding SQL statements in free-format RPG than
using the c specs?
This has been discussed before, here and elsewhere. A search should
turn up much of that.
We are aware of the need to improve the coding of SQL in /free
calcs, and hopefully, relief should come in some future release.
(Unfortunately, not the one currently under development.)
Another thing is that a %DATE function that retunrs numeral would be great
instead of bringing back the c specs for a MOVE. I really hate it to use
two coding styles in the same program.
Some relief should be available in the next release. %DATE will
never be changed to return anything other than a date value.
However, you should be able to go from date to numeric in one fewer
step. Today, you would code:
numdate = %dec(%char(datevalue:*ISO0));
In the future, you'll be able to code something like:
numdate = %dec(datevalue:*ISO);
Cheers! Hans
