RE: SQL Cursor return to client issue while using views

I was thinking the same thing. So when creating the contents of the field, I used RPG's %trim() to drop the extra spaces.

Of course that didn't work since the parmSrchValue field was still the same length and carried its overhead into the SQL. So I tried your suggestion.

STRIP worked!

"Thanks Chuck!" for the solution! And "Thanks Luis!" for playing our game!

I've an SQL in an RPG service program that:

<<SNIP>>

I'm stumped.

Sample of SQL within the program:

Exec SQL Declare TABLEget Cursor with return to client for
Select *
from TABLEVW1
where upper(classdesc) like
case when :parmSrchValue<> ' '
and :SearchOnDesc = 'Y'
then :parmSrchValue
else upper(classdesc) end
and upper(classcode) like
case when :parmSrchValue<> ' '
and :SearchOnDesc = 'N'
then :parmSrchValue
else upper(classcode) end;

Spaces are significant in a LIKE predicate. Probably just need to
STRIP(:HV), declare each HF varying, or pad the :HV value with '%'.
