RE: Embedded SQL Select Into

How so, Gary?

LikeRec isn't allowed when specifying an external description. Program won't compile when using LikeRec on a file not declared within the program.

I don't recall ExtName ever causing me issues with embedded SQL.

Thanks Gary...LikeRec, eh? I would need an F spec in my program to identify the record format I'm 'liking', right?

Michael,

C/EXEC SQL

C/END-EXEC
C Eval job_Rows = Sqler3
C If SQLCODE = *Zero And job_Rows >= job_Max

To create a DS based on a file, look at LIKEREC in your ILE RPG
Language Reference, your D spec will look something like this:

D xids DS Likerec(XI01.XI01REC)
i/o buffer

I'd sure appreciate it. I'm trying to fetch rows into an externally
described data structure. I'm making this more difficult than it
should be I'll bet.

Note that your DS can be defined as a datastructure array - see

You cannot do an array using into. Wish we could. You must
define a cursor, open and then do a fetch into for x rows and
then close
cursor.

Also, you are going to have to have a data structure to read into.

Sigh...so I'm trying this:

Exec SQL
Select Session_Id Into :WkSession_ID
From MblSesP
Where Session_End is null;

I've defined Wk_Session_ID as:

D WkSession_ID S 128
D Dim(1000)

Note: I've also tried to define it as a data structure array
(or thought
I
did). I get an SQL0312 error - variable not found or unusable.

The definition of Session_ID (from DSPFFD) is:

SESSION_ID CHAR 128 130 43 Both
SESSION_ID
Variable length field -- Allocated length : None
Default value . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : None
Coded Character Set Identifier . . . . . : 37

Two questions: What am I doing wrong, and why does SQL hate me?

Thanks!
