Hi Jon,
you may check the following paper

ance/index.html
Even though I'm not very happy about the RPG example.
It seems to me being translated row by row from the C code.
I'm no C expert, but it seems to me C's short data type is not the same as
2B 0.
Also defining varying lengths fields as follows looks rather strange (and
not correct either) to me.
D En_Lob_Ds Ds Qualified
D Len 5B 0
D Data 1 dim(512)
D
D De_Lob_Ds Ds LikeDs(En_Lob_Ds)
D
D En_VChar_Ds Ds Qualified
D Len 2B 0
D Data 1 dim(512)
But I haven't found any time yet to test the sample code.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
Birgitta Hauser

Betreff: V7R1 Field Procedures
The boss had decided that he wants to encrypt a couple of fields in our
customer master file. I have been reading the SQL programming manual and
found field procedures which seams to be the process to use. The manual has
a sample program written in "C" (I think), anyway I don't understand the
sample program.
Has anyone written a program that is called as a field procedure and if so
would you be willing to share the program?
Thanks
