RE: SQL CLI Parameter Value Issue

Not absolutely sure, but I recall having problems making stored procedure calls to RPG when using SQL CHAR types. I think SQL wants us to use VARCHAR types for all character parms....

hth,

Subject: SQL CLI Parameter Value Issue


Greetings.

I am calling a Stored Procedure passing four character parameters. The
first parameter is of 9 bytes. When passing the value of '000001204', the
Stored Procedure shows the value '000001200'. Here is my CLI code:
D testNum S 9a
D Frm_TXYear S 4a
D ReqSystem S 6a
D Too_TXYear S 4a inz(*blanks) Optional
D LenDFlag S 4a inz(*blanks) Optional
D Service_ID S 6a inz(*blanks) Optional

/free

EvalR testNum = '000000000' + %Trim('1204') ;
Eval Frm_TXYear = '2007' ;
Eval ReqSystem = 'SPEECH' ;

SQLAllocEnv(env);
SQLAllocConnect(env: conn);

SQLSetConnectAttrI( conn
: SQL_ATTR_DBC_SYS_NAMING
: SQL_TRUE
: %size(SQLINTEGER) );

SQLConnect( conn
: '*LOCAL'
: SQL_NTS
: *NULL
: SQL_NTS
: *NULL
: SQL_NTS );

SQLAllocStmt( conn : stmt );
SQLPrepare(stmt :'Call YESTMNT1R(?,?,?,?,?,?)' :SQL_NTS) ;

SQLBindParameter(stmt :1 :SQL_PARAM_INPUT
:SQL_CHAR
:SQL_CHAR
:9 :0
:%Addr(testNum)
:%Size(testNum)
:%len(testNum));
SQLBindParameter(stmt :2 :SQL_PARAM_INPUT
:SQL_CHAR :SQL_CHAR :4 :0 :%Addr(Frm_TXYear)
:%Size(Frm_TXYear) :%len(Frm_TXYear));

SQLBindParameter(stmt :3 :SQL_PARAM_INPUT
:SQL_CHAR :SQL_CHAR :6 :0 :%Addr(ReqSystem)
:%Size(ReqSystem) :%len(ReqSystem));

SQLBindParameter(stmt :4 :SQL_PARAM_INPUT
:SQL_CHAR :SQL_CHAR :4 :0 :%Addr(Too_TXYear)
:%Size(Too_TXYear) :%len(Too_TXYear));

SQLBindParameter(stmt :5 :SQL_PARAM_INPUT
:SQL_CHAR :SQL_CHAR :4 :0 :%Addr(LenDFlag)
:%Size(LenDFlag) :%len(LenDFlag));

SQLBindParameter(stmt :6 :SQL_PARAM_INPUT
:SQL_CHAR :SQL_CHAR :6 :0 :%Addr(Service_ID)
:%Size(Service_ID) :%len(Service_ID));

SQLExecute(stmt);
...

The prototype for the called procedure is
D Yestmnt1R PI
D itestNum 9a Const
D**
D iTaxYear 4a Const
D iReqSystem 6a Const
D iTo_TaxYr 4a Const
D iLendFlag 4a Const
D iService_ID 6a Const


Why is the value of testNum passing as '000001200' instead of '000001204'?

Thank you
