I'm working on a program to fetch records from a table where some of the fields are defined as null and others defined as not null. I am doing a multiple row fetch and what happens is the first row returned is fine but every row after that is shifted four bytes as if there are four bytes missing from the buffer. I don't think it is a coincidence that there are two non-null capable fields in the result row and the indicator size is two bytes for a total of four bytes. I have tried changing the size of the indicator array but it didn't help. Before the table was changed to allow nulls this same fetch was returning the records correctly.
I have read several posts in the archives but none seemed to address returning a mixture of null capable fields and non-null capable fields. I am still working through the manuals looking for information on mixed return sets but haven't found anything yet. RPG examples would help.
I'm posting the relevant code for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are at V5R4 and PTF's should be current.
