Re: AW: SQL pre-compiler not recognizing /DEFINEd variable

Charles,

The basic idea is to have the prototypes and the procedures in one source member. Since they must physically be in different locations in the program source, I'm trying to condition it via variables. Here's some pseudo-code:

Main source:
/DEFINE Proto
/COPY ProcStuff
... some calcs ...
// After the calcs, procedures go here.
/DEFINE MyProcs
/COPY ProcStuff
_______

Member ProcStuff:

/IF DEFINED( Proto )
/UNDEFINE Proto
D MyProc PR
/ENDIF

/IF DEFINED( MyProcs )
/UNDEFINE MyProcs
D MyProc b
D MyProc PI
D MyProc e
/ENDIF

The SQL pre-compiler seems to ignore the variable conditioning and includes the prototype D spec again at the end, so the pre-compiler said that the source is out of sequence.

Nope. The SQL precompiler doesn't support all the conditionals that the
RPG compiler does.

Assuming you aren't referencing any variables defined in the /COPY in an
SQL statement. Just switch /COPY to /INCLUDE and the SQL pre-compiler will
quite expanding them. Thus allowing RPG to do so properly.

Charles,

This is working fine for RPGLE. For SQLRPGLE, the pre-compiler seems to
ignore ALL conditioning and setting of variables! This there some setting
/ parameter to get it to recognize them? This is making things quite a bit
more complicated.

/INCLUDE works just like /COPY from the RPG compiler perspective...

It's just the SQL pre-compiler that treats them differently.

Birgitta,

Is this a permanent restriction? I can't use /INCLUDE in this case,
since the production code actually has the prototype and a couple of
related procedures. (They are message handling routines, and I don't
want
to put them into a service program.) Therefore, I really do want the
same
member /COPY'ed twice, but different sections should be included based on
the variable definition.

The SQL precompiler may have some problems with compiler directives and
including the same copy member multiple times.
Since the copy member X@ only includes a prototype, which is not used
by
any
SQL statement, use /INCLUDE.
Copy members included with /INCLUDE are ignored by the SQL precompiler
(by
default)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: SQL pre-compiler not recognizing /DEFINEd variable

I just ran into an SQL pre-compiler situation that seems to be a
defect.

When compiling this as an RPGLE, it compiles fine. Changing it to
SQLRPGLE causes it to fail:
SQL1106 30 RPG specification out of order.

It looks like it's ignoring the defined variable and copying the
code
again. This is for a client that's still on V5R2. Does this work
properly
at a current compiler version?

Here's a test program to illustrate:

H OPTION( *SrcStmt: *NoDebugIO )
H dftactgrp(*NO) actgrp(*new)
/COPY X@
d Test2 pr
C EVAL *INLR = *On
P Test2 b
d Test2 pi
P Test2 e
/COPY X@

______________
Include member X@:

/IF NOT DEFINED(TestPgmPRCopied)
/DEFINE TestPgmPRCopied
* Test prototype
D TestPgm PR ExtPgm('TESTPGM')
/ENDIF
