OK. Thanks for all the help and information. Although none of it
directly solved the issue, each little piece added another clue.
The actual problem was not the *LOVAL/*HIVAL stuff, it was that I was
concatenating single quotes to each of the character fields out of
habit. Apparently the compiler is smart enough to recognize a character
field as such and a numeric field as such and properly format the
statement when referencing the host variables. When I code in Java I
need to make sure that character fields have single quotes so that the
statement is formatted correctly.
Dropping the appending of the single quote constants did the trick. All
of which brings me back around to my original "wish": If I could have
seen the resultant SQL (warts and all) and could do a cut and paste in
to an interactive session I would have immediately seen the issue and
fixed it. A debug view that shows the SQL statement fully rendered and
as it would be executed would be a sweet addition. I would have seen this:
select * from myfile where
myssn between -999999 and 999999 and
myuser between ''PETE' ' and ''PETE' '
Which immediately I would have recognized as wrong.
Thanks to all,
Pete Helgren

It seems to be working as Joe indicated. I still don't see a recordset--
when I run the SQL through RPG vs the interactive SQL session using the
hex representations of *LOVAL and *HIVAL so I don't know what is going
on, yet. I don't get records running the RPG version but if I run what
I assume the RPG version is running using interactive SQL, I do get
records. A few more hours of debugging and trial and error and I'll
figure it out.

I thought *LOVAL for character fields was x'40404040...' for the length of the field - it ought to be in the RPG Reference. It might be x'00000000...' for hex fields.
But then I'm not fully awake, so don't know for sure.

From: Pete HelgrenDid you try x'00000000000000000000' and x' FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'?
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.
