RE: How to pass variable number of parameters in SQLRPGLE

I haven't delved much into the *NOPASS stuff...yet...

But I suspect that in your code you use the parameter variable
regardless of whether it's passed or not.  This *could* potentially
cause this.  My preference in this case would be to use a "work" field.

If %Parms>0;
  MyWorkVar=ParmVar;
Else;
  MyWorkVar=*Loval;
EndIf;

& never use the ParmVar anywhere else in the program...but maybe I'm
barking up the wrong tree... 


Thanks,

Subject: How to pass variable number of parameters in SQLRPGLE

Hi All,

 

I want to call my SQLRPGLE program in two modes.

 

1.      From another program with one parameter (character type).
2.      From the Command Line with out any parameter.

 

I have coded it as follows,

 

* Prototype for calling this program (*ENTRY)          

DMYPGM        PR                   EXTPGM(MYPGM)                

DParam1                       10A   OPTIONS(*NOPASS) 

 

 * Procedure interface for this program (*ENTRY)        

DMYPGM         PI                                   

DParam1                       10A   OPTIONS(*NOPASS)

 

C                      IF   %PARMS > 0

C                      ........

C                      ELSE

C                      ........

C                      ENDIF

 

The *NOPASS works fine when I coded it in a subprocedure and used that
subprocedure in my main program.

When used in the main program it is working fine when I call it with a
parameter.

But it is giving "Pointer or Parameter error" when called without any
parameter.

 

Can any one please tell me what is wrong in my code?

I tried the same code with RPGLE type it is working fine. But why it is
not working with SQLRPGLE?

In RPGLE it is working fine even if I remove the *NOPASS option. !!!!

 

Thanks,

Satheesh
