Hello:

I am just starting to use embedded SQL in my RPG Ile programs.  Most of my
physical files have null capable fields in them.  I am using an externally
defined Data Structure as the host variable for the Fetch into.  I get an
error on the fetch (-305) which indicates that I need to include an
indicator array for the null indication.  How do I define the null indicator
array?  When I define a second Data Structure, the SQL preprocessor says
that the variable is undefined or unusable.  The code I am trying to compile
is shown below:

    H/Title  Test of Embedded Sql

    D Hoststr       E DS                  extname(ordrfile)

    D Indarr          DS
    D   nlind                        4B 0 dim(65)
      /Free

       exec sql
          declare CSR cursor for
             select * from ordrfile
             where status not in('S','C','D')
             order by ordrno desc;
       exec sql
             open CSR;
       exec sql
          fetch CSR into :Hoststr :Indarr;

       Return;
      /end-free
