Re: SQL db in an RPG program - another question

Hi Kim,

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "member id" in this context. Surely, you aren't working with multiple member files on a SQL Server box?

I'm not clear on how you are reading your DB2 for IBM i table. Are you reading this with embedded SQL? JDBC? CLI? native I/O? I don't see any reason why it'd hurt to keep the file open, in any of these cases.

Now I have to update 3 fields in a file(table) in the SQL db from an
RPG program.

I have to read an iSeries file to get a member id, and then get the
member record from the table in the SQL data base and update 3
fields. Then loop back and get the next iSeries record.

Using Scott's code, I was planning on using the Prepstmt to hold the
member id value and the 3 variables. Then JDBC_ExecPrepUpd
subprocedure to update the 3 fields in the db. Am I understanding
the code correctly? Can I have the iSeries file 'open' while I get
the db record? Any other help would be appreciated. Thanks, Kim
