Re: Viewing the resultant SQL in an RPG program

Hi Pete

The best - albeit not simplest - answer is to use the database monitor. You could run the monitor - strdbmon - and then look at the outfile. This is not much better than Joe's method, because the host variables are shown as parameter markers and the values are in a different place. But Navigator can take that output and show you the resultant statement. Very cool, actually!

You could also put the job in debug mode and look at the job log, but that really only gives optimizer messages and other stuff - but it might show you a file not found kind of thing - if you have not checked sql code and sql state.

Give a shout if you want - 888.rjs.soft

How are folks debugging SQL statements that have host variables that are
resolved at runtime? Is there a way to debug a RPG program with
embedded SQL so you can see the "resolved" statement as it is passed to
DB2/400? I have an RPG program with embedded SQL that is returning no
rows but when I run a statement that should be similar (the "should be"
is the catch!) in interactive SQL I do get rows returned.

I'd like to "see" what DB2/400 sees when the SQL statement is
processed. Any way to do this ?
