RE: Sql limitation on DS array -- RPG400-L

Kurt,
None of those types, this file is an app
originally developed 30+ years ago with
date and time values in packed/decimal
fields.
Also, removing "Dim(10) Qualified" from
the D spec allows the pgm to compile and
run as expected.
Code snips available at:
http://code.midrange.com/02382d6fb5.html
Yes, all questions, comments, suggestions
gratefully welcomed!

Does the file contain a date, time, or timestamp field? That could cause the problem.

And for the "is it plugged in" question, "is the file in the library list for the compile?" Sorry, someone has to ask, right?

Birgitta,
DSPFFD:
Number of fields . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 184
Record length . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 586
Mostly CHAR, a bunch of PACKED and a ZONE or two.
With Dim(10) I guess the array is < 10k, likely < 6K?

Does the Array data structure exceed 32K?
32K is the maximum length of a variable length a variable, data structure or array data structure used in composition with embedded SQL.
BTW 32K is the maximum length or a record/row in a physical file/table.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: Sql limitation on DS array

I commonly load a DS with Select or Fetch, but it seems a DS array created from Extname has a limit as the target of an SQL statement and the pre-compile complains with MsgId SQL0312 - why for ?
