Here's more than you ever wanted to know about the DB monitor - you can run it from the command line with STRDBMON and control the name of the output file, or from Navigator and just specify which library the data is in - the output file then will have a name like QZGnnnnnnn and the text will be 'Output file for STRDBMON'. To get the statement that was actually used, you have to find certain records in that file - it's an ugly feller - lots of record 'type' indicators and far-too-overloaded fields, dependent on that record type. Anyhow, the statement will be found in field QQ1000 of records with recid 1000. You will likely see DECLARE CURSOR statements - have to get the SELECT out of that.

The values used in the host variables will be in the same field, QQ1000, in a record just ahead of the record with recid 3010 - a comma+space-delimited list. They are to replace the parameter markers in order - the markers are ': H '.

FETCH INTO statements will be there, too, and have parameter markers - but they are output - there won't be values anywhere that I remember.

I use RUNQRY () lib/file to see this stuff, because the recid is a binary field.

You COULD go to Navigator, run the monitor, end it, right click on the monitor and take the "List explainable statements...' option - not limited to just the last statement - copy it to notepad or something, then find the output file on the iSeries and get the values fromt the 3010 record - you could use the HEX function in sql to see it, if needed -

select hex(qq1000) from lib/outfile where qqrid = 3010

and for the statements themselves -

select hex(qq1000) from lib/outfile where qqrid = 1000

maybe combine as -

select rrn(outfile), qqrid, qq1000, hex(qq1000) from lib/outfile where qqrid in (1000, 3010) order by 1

or some variant thereof.

You might contact Elvis at Centerfield - I think their tool actually resolves the host variable values, IIRC.

No. But I just did and it works.

Now, to figure out what the problem is with the select statement.

This gets me going again. Thanks,

Pete

I'll do some trial and error testing of the statement using different
variables and commenting portions of the statement and see if I can
figure out why the SQL is not returning records like I expect. The
*LOVAL/*HIVAL technique is a good one, I just need to know what to
submit in the SQL for *LOVAL and *HIVAL when the field is a 10 character
numeric.


Did you try x'00000000000000000000' and x' FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'?
