RE: SQL null indicators when not all columns are null capable

Charles,

I tried your suggestion and got SQL0305. The text is below. I tried yesterday to use an indicator array of different size than the result set but it didn't work. It looks like the indicators are referenced as offsets.

Message ID . . . . . . : SQL0305 Severity . . . . . . . : 30
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic
Date sent . . . . . . : 04/14/10 Time sent . . . . . . : 10:10:15

Message . . . . : Indicator variable required.
Cause . . . . . : A FETCH, embedded SELECT, CALL, GET DESCRIPTOR, or a SET
or VALUES INTO statement has resulted in a null value, but an indicator
variable was not specified for host variable RECEIVEDBACK. The relative
position of the host variable in the INTO clause or parameter list is 6. If
the host variable name is *N, a descriptor area was specified.
If this error occurs on a GET DESCRIPTOR statement, the null value is
being returned but the INDICATOR item was not specified on the GET
DESCRIPTOR statement.

If you've only got two NULL-capable fields...

shouldn't this
// Null indicator array for result set
d NullIndDS ds Dim(340) Qualified
d Indicator 5i 0 Dim(6)

only be DIM(2)
// Null indicator array for result set
d NullIndDS ds Dim(340) Qualified
d Indicator 5i 0 Dim(2)
