AW: Retrieving identity column value when adding a record

Hi,

You'll get the last identity column inserted in your job with the SQL scalar
function Identity_Val_Local (without any parameters).

In Release V6R1 you may get the indentities for a block insert as follows:

Select MyIdentity

From Final Table (Insert into MyTable (Fld1, Fld2, ... Fldx)

Select Flda, FldB, .... FldX
from OtherTable
Where ....) as x

Your insert gets embedded in a Select-Statement.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: Retrieving identity column value when adding a record



I am looking at using an identity column as the primary key for one of the
tables in a new process. When a record is added to the table using RPG I
need to pass the identity column value off to another program via a data
queue. My question is how do I know what value was assigned to the identity
column for the added record?

I searched the archives and found references to the VALUES statement but the
documentation says it can only be used in a trigger. Am I missing
something?
