Re: Embedded SQL issue.

Jake - just realized that what you are using as concatenate ("||") may in
fact NOT be the correct representation. On my keyboard the concatenate (||)
is in fact shift with backslash (\) - NO spaces in  between each figure.
Just a suggestion

Thanks for the suggestion, Alan. I tried and it failed with the same

reason.

I tried to use the 'cast' also and that failed too. Will keep trying

a

few

more options.

cheers,

You can only concatenate ("||") character fields. The two fields

are

both

numeric.
Try the following (even though it looks NOT like what I described)
select dec(customer_month) || '-' || dec(customer_day) as "Date"

from

iso.customer;

Hello Guru's,
I am trying to execute a SQL statement in my RPG program but I am

getting

this error. I was wondering if anybody ran into this before.

SQL0440N  No authorized routine named "||" of type "FUNCTION"

having

compatible arguments was found.


my SQL statement is as follows.
select customer_month || '-' || customer_day as "Date" from

iso.customer

;

The data types of both customer_month and customer_day are

decimal(2).

I did a search on SQL0440N and it turned up as a bug. If so, has

it

been

fixed and I just need a 'patch' maybe?

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

cheers,

-Jake.
