RE: As much as I hate showing my own stupidity more than once a day (I am flat out stuck) Embedded SQL

They are the same size, as is the customer number, I thought of that earlier
and double checked those.



Here is what IBM says about 305:




SQL0305


Message Text:

Indicator variable required.


Cause Text:

A FETCH, an embedded SELECT, a CALL or a SET or VALUES INTO statement has
resulted in a null value, but an indicator variable was not specified for
host variable &2. The relative position of the host variable in the INTO
clause or parameter list is &1. If the host variable name is *N, an SQLDA
was specified.


Recovery Text:

Specify an indicator variable, and precompile the program again.


SQLCODE or SQLCODEs:

-305


SQLSTATE or SQLSTATEs:

22002 22004

Of course, it would help if I knew what the status code -305 meant but, in

any case, I would cast the retrieved field to be the same size as the

'fetch' defines.

To wit:

SELECT cast(SUM(SLEXT$) as dec (9,2)) FROM SLSTRNL5 etc.

As much as I hate showing my own stupidity more than once a day ( I am

flat out stuck) Embedded SQL













I am reading a file and using the values within that file to create an SQL

that will go out and select a sum of sales figures for a particular

customer.







Here is the relevant SQL code:







C*---Prepare SQL Statement



C/EXEC SQL



C+ DECLARE C1 CURSOR FOR



C+ SELECT SUM(SLEXT$) FROM SLSTRNL5



C+ WHERE SLACCT= :CUSTNO



C+ AND SLTDAT > :ZBDATEN



C+ AND SLTDAT <= :ZEDATEN



C+ AND SLCLAS > 1



C+ AND SLSHRT = ' '



C/END-EXEC











I then open the cursor with the following:







C*---Open the Cursor



C/EXEC SQL



C+ OPEN C1



C/END-EXEC







I then am running a fetch statement with the following:







C*---Fetch the Result and place into Variable



C/EXEC SQL



C+ FETCH C1 INTO :ZSUM



C/END-EXEC







ZSUM is defined as an 9,2 on the D spec







Everything so far, at least to my eyes looks good...







However before I process that ZSUM data (output to a report) I check the

SQLCOD and I am getting a return code of -305..I have checked the

variables

that I am passing in, such as CUSTNO (defined on the D SPEC correctly),

ZBDATEN and ZEDATEN are also defined on the D SPEC correctly...so I have

no

clue what variable the system is balking at.







Any assistance would be appreciated.
