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

Doug,

This is ringing a bell in my head but I can't remember exactly what. I vaguely remember something either with looking at environment settings in the strsql vs the embedded sql (commitment control?) OR with the formatting of the host variables. I think I hard coded the values in the embedded SQL to start with and then worked backward until I figured it out. Whatever it was, the SQL was returning no records and that is what was causing the null value. But it was some SQL setting that I added to the RPG.

I wish my memory was better......sheesh!

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.


Douglas
