Re: SQL CLI Help

[Jeff Young <cooljeff913@xxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,
  I made the changes to the program, and am now getting an error on the 
SQLFetchScroll.
  The error is SQ99999
  Error Occurred in SQL Call Level Interface           
You have issued a procedure call that encountered an error.  The error code is 
10. Error codes are as follows:
   Error type 10 is function sequence error. 
   
  Any suggestions?
   
  Thanks,

Hi Jeff,

You said you're getting a -2 return code from SQLPrepare(). -2 is the 
same as SQL_INVALID_HANDLE (the latter being a named constant with a value 
of -2).

Your program creates the environment and connection handles and connects 
successfully.

The next thing it does is create another environment handle? Why would 
you do that? I think you probably meant to create a statement handle 
here, but that's not what you did! You then call SQLPrepare() and pass 
hstmt, but I don't see where you ever created the hstmt handle?

Here's the code I'm referring to:

> //**********************************************************

> Exsr Check_Rc;


I would assume that what you really wanted to do the following, correct?

rc = SQLAllocHandle (SQL_HANDLE_STMT : henv : hstmt);
Exsr Check_Rc;


Then you do the following:

> szSqlStr = SQL_Select_Stmt; // Load SQL Statement to execute
> cbSqlStr = SQL_NTS; // Length
> // Associate SQL Statement with Handle
> // All SQL commands will now refer to this statement
> rc = SQLPrepare(hstmt : // Statement Handle
> szSqlStr : // Statement to execute
> cbSqlStr); // Length
> Exsr Check_Rc;

Here you're getting an SQL_INVALID_HANDLE error, which is likely to be 
because you never allocate hstmt (unless you change your code to match my 
suggestion)

Another thing that struck me as odd was the following:

> %Occur(Customer_Data)= 1;
> Rows_to_Fetch = %Elem(Customer_Data);
> rc = SQLFetchScroll (hstmt : // Handle
> SQL_FETCH_NEXT : // Type of fetch
> Rows_to_Fetch ); // Number of rows to fetch

Unless I'm really confused, the 3rd parameter to SQLFetchScroll is an 
offset, and NOT the number of rows to fetch!

This offset would be used when the 2nd parameter is SQL_FETCH_RELATIVE to 
tell it where to move the cursor relative to the current position, which 
SQLFetchScroll does before it fetches a record.

I don't think SQLFetchScroll is capable of fetching multiple records, is 
it? I thought you had to use SQLExtendedFetch() for that...

However, I've never been able to get SQLExtendedFetch() to work, I always 
get SQLSTATE=HY010 when I try to use SQLExtendedFetch(). Since I can 
never get it to work properly, I didn't respond to your first question :)

If SQLFetchScroll() does allow multiple records to be returned, I'd expect 
that you'd have to set the rowset size with SQLSetStmtAttr(). Have you 
tried that?
