RE: HEY!!: SQL5011 error when accessing remote (seperate LPAR) DB

Stephen,

When I compile a DS with an externally defined BLOB field I receive this error message:

*RNF7575 00 3 000300 Data structure TESTTABLE has fields with an unknown
datatype. These fields are ignored.

Are you getting the same error message?

I am getting an SQL5011 error when compiling my program.

The error states:

"Position 25 Host structure array TWFPDFDS not defined or not usable."

This is part of an SQL to fetch multiple rows into a data structure.

This is the data structure:

D TWFPDFDs E Ds Extname(TWFPDF) occurs( 9999 )

The TWFPDF table resides on a remote system i.

Here is the bit of the RPG code:

Exec sql SET CONNECTION :srcBox ;
Exec sql SET schema :srclib ;

Exec Sql DECLARE input CURSOR FOR
Select * from TWFPDF;
exec sql open input;
exec sql fetch input for 9999 rows
into :TWFPDFDS;

The compile error happens on this fetch. I've done this before and I am actually cloning an existing process that works...the only unusual item might be this table's definition.

It only contains three columns; the first two are character and are 17 and 20 characters. The third and final column is a *BLOB.

Is this BLOB the problem?

I need to send the data within this table across LPARs on a monthly schedule. Just trying to evaluate possibilities other than save/FTP/restore.

Thanks!

Steve Needles
