Re: Null values not allowed in column or variable

Your assumption is correct.

update file a set optcod=(select
noptcod from bscfile b
where a.optcod=b.ioptcod and b.noptcod is not null

I'm going to assume that file BSCFILE allows NOPTCOD to be null, while file OPTCOD in file FILE isn't allowed that feature, and that in the former file one or more of the NOPTCOD fields are null.

You can either change the file to allow null on OPTCOD or add "and b.noptcod is not null" to your WHERE clause.

The sql displays line " Null values not allowed in column or variable optcod"

Kindly respond asap.

Go to the FAQ at http://faq.midrange.com and file how to process xls

spreadsheets in RPG. Maybe search for hssf. Then read those bad boys and UPDATE them out using traditional RPG, or change your update statement to:

UPDATE file SET optcod=:NewOptcod WHERE futcod=:ifsFutcod
AND  Client=:ifsClient and optcod=:oldOptcod

sql question






Hi,

I ve a file in which futcod, descr, client & optcod are few of the fields. I 've an xl sheet from the client to replace optcod values with new optcod

values.
xl sheet contains 5 columns futcod, descr, client &optcod

I did simple sql

UPDATE file SET optcod='OPTWS' WHERE futcod='FUT01'
AND  Client='GOLDMAN' and optcod='INXMO'

Since the number of entries(around 50) in the xl sheet are less, I opted
for
this simple manual SQL.

How to handle this differently by using a program when the list is big or

some times we get 3 to 4 xl sheets from the client(optcod values changes

>from time to time!)?

Warm Regards,
JoeP
