RE: SQL in RPGIV Error Message

[CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Justin,

When you have NULL values returned, you need to provide a set of indicators
for each field returned.  If the field is NULL the indicator for that field
is on.  Here's an example from the SQL Programming with host languages
manual.

DDEPARTMENT DS OCCURS(10)
D DEPTNO 01 03A
D DEPTNM 04 32A
D MGRNO 33 38A
D ADMRD 39 41A
DIND_ARRAY DS OCCURS(10)
D INDS 4B 0 DIM(4)
...
C/EXEC SQL
C+ DECLARE C1 CURSOR FOR
C+ SELECT *
C+ FROM CORPDATA.DEPARTMENT
C/END-EXEC
...
C/EXEC SQL
C+ FETCH C1 FOR 10 ROWS
C+ INTO :DEPARTMENT :IND_ARRAY
C/END-EXEC


Notice there are 4 fields, 10 rows at a time.  So IND_ARRY is 4x10 also.

HTH,
Charles
