Re: Interupting an rpg sql search

I take it you're talking about the RPG we all know and love and not some
client/server version like VARPG?
I don't think you'll find a whole lot on "event programming" with RPG or
RPGLE. That's what might interrupt a long running process.
You're pretty much restricted to ENDJOB or SysReq. (Typically mapped to
Shift-Esc on a PC keyboard). Normally you'd use option 2. However, on
some long runners like that, I've had to use option 90 to force a sign off
because option 2 would tell me something like it couldn't be halted during
the middle of some critical operation or some such thing.

I'd really evaluate that SQL statement. Traditional wisdom is to do a
STRDBG UPDPROD(*YES) and do not specify a program name. After the program
is done you can do a DSPJOBLOG and you'll see tons of SQL stuff in there
to look at.

Another consideration is CHGQRYA QRYTIMLMT(15)

After doing a little poking around, you might post the SQL statement and
we can see if you really flubbed it up. Hey, even I've made mistakes. :-)

I don't suppose there's some way to throw a halt indicator? (Ducking and
running.)
