That was going to be my point. I think the initial question was how to dynamically assign the file name on the EXTNAME keyword. The externally described data structure is just an abbreviated way to define a data structure. It's a structure. Not a data source. The structure needs to be known at compile time.

A trigger is a normal program that gets called by the database manager. The PSDS won't behave differently in a trigger -- it'll still have the name of the program itself (not the name of who called it) in those positions.

You defined your data structure as fieldDs. dfieldDs ds d field1 5a d field2 15p 2 d field3 30a c/exec sql fetch next from c into :fields :myNullAry c/end-exec In V5R3, there is a new parameter called RPGPPOPT: RPG preprocessor options (RPGPPOPT) - Help Specifies if the RPG compiler will be called to preprocess the source member before the SQL precompile is run. Preprocessing the SQL source member will allow some compiler directives to be handled before the SQL precompile. The preprocessed source will be placed in file QSQLPRE in QTEMP. This source will be used for the SQL precompile. *NONE The compiler is not called for preprocessing. *LVL1 The compiler is called for preprocessing to expand /COPY and handle the conditional compilation directives except the /INCLUDE directive. *LVL2 The compiler will be called for preprocessing to expand /COPY and /INCLUDE and handle the conditional compilation directives. So with *NONE, which is the default, the precompiler can handle one level of /Copy and does not read /INCLUDE. Another common reason for getting SQL0312 is that you have the host variable defined more than once. The precompiler never has handled scoping of variables and requires all variables to be unique, even if they are in different procedure. -- This is the RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries (RPG400-L) mailing list To post a message email: RPG400-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/rpg400-l or email: RPG400-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l. ------------------------------ message: 8 date: Fri, 11 Feb 2005 12:43:53 -0500 from: rob@xxxxxxxxx subject: RE: sqlrpgle & copy book http://www-912.ibm.com/ Select "Software Service Request" Rob Berendt -- Group Dekko Services, LLC Dept 01.073 PO Box 2000 Dock 108 6928N 400E Kendallville, IN 46755 http://www.dekko.com <SRamanujan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx 02/11/2005 11:16 AM Please respond to RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> cc Subject RE: sqlrpgle & copy book Thanks Rob.

Prior to V5R3 the precompiler ignored /include but did /copy. You need the precompiler to actually do the /copy to get it to use the fields within the data structure. In the V5R3 version of the precompiler supposedly they fixed all bad issues regarding /copy (like nested copies now work). And they now treat /include just like /copy. Which I think is asinine because the sole purpose of /include was to be ignored by the precompiler. When they come up with yet another function that is not valid within the precompiler what will the compiler team do? Come up with a /copyifnotinsqlprecompiler directive? Or is there an new conditional compilation directive that should be used? Obviously this is not his issue since he tried both directives though. Odd that it works if neither is used, but a physical copy is used instead. Open a pmr.
