Field Loses Value When Returned By Stored Procedure

I recently ran into this, and I'm wondering if anyone might know if there's a way to make it work.

I have module B that does some lookups in a file and returns the values in parameters. This is called by program A, which takes those values, plus others, loads them into a MODS, and exports it as a recordset using SQL SET RESULT SETS.

In the first version, module B used embedded SQL to retrieve the values, but I when I tested the stored procedure in iSeries Navigator the values retrieved in program B (and only those vaues) showed up as zeros. I put the program into debug and confirmed
that a) module B was retrieving the correct values, b) the parameters coming back into program A contained those values, and c) both before and after the SQL SET RESULT SETS the MODS contained those values. But the recordset in iSeries Nav did not.

Then I made one change: I modified module B to use Chains and Reads instead of embedded SQL. After I did that the stored procedure worked -- the values were returned correctly. No change at all was made to program A.

Does anyone know why using embedded SQL in module B would cause the stored procedure export in program A to lose the values?

TIA,
