Re: RNF3826 - A subfield cannot be of type Object

Hello,

You can't put the O (=Object) data type in a data structure. You also can't get the address of it with the %addr() BIF. I don't know why IBM made that decision (it's not because of instantiation -- the actual object isn't in RPG, it's in the JVM. The O-data type is really just a 10i 0 field under the covers.) Anyway, no clue why IBM did that.

There's a way to bypass it -- but it involves "deceiving" the compiler with a mismatched PR/PI. I don't know if it's a good idea, so I hesitate to post it...

To make it easier for me to do multiple connections within a RPG

contains connection ID, connection object and all its associated
preparedstatements info that I'll need to manage each different
connections. The RPG compile is giving me the RNF3826 error on the conn
DS, which make sense since java class does not occupy memory until
instantiated. With that say, any suggestion on how to get around this
problem?
