Re: Supported Syntax in SQLRPGLE in V6R1. Changed?

Yeah, a lot of stuff happened to RPG in V5R4M0 and more in 6.1. Is there some place that summarizes those changes, like a "Memo to users of RPG" or something? When I was searching I didn't find anything specifically related to SQLRPGLE but found many DB2 for i5/OS enhancements listed.

It has to be something simple but I am surprised that it didn't surface in my searching. I am sure someone must've run across this before. Or, maybe I have just missed something essential when installing licensed programs.

There is something about stuff that has to appear first in source now - might have started in V5R4 - I hope this tickles someone's memory. But it is like DECLARE CURSOR and such need to be at the top of the source.

I dunno!

Well, I don't get it. Seems like there is something different about the way host variables are defined and used since V5R3M0. I went back to using the 270 I have at V5R3M0 so I could get this fix compiled and out to the customer but it is awfully strange that an SQLRPGLE source member from a V5R3M0 box can't be pulled over and compiled in V6R1M0.

Once I get this out to the customer, I'll call IBM. Seems like it would be something simple but after searching all afternoon on the 'Net, I haven't found anything promising.

Thanks Brian.

Do you know if host variable use changed in 6.1?

Sorry, I'm not there yet, still working at V5R3. The work-around for the
problem I'm thinking about was to use CRTSQLRPGI GENLVL(30) to accept the
'error' and allow the compile to continue. Perhaps your command default was
changed at V5R3 but hasn't been propagated to the V6 box.
