Try the /INCLUDE, it is only ignored by the SQL pre-compiler but NOT by the RPGLE compiler.

How so? I want the same code copy behavior, regardless of the compiler type. /INCLUDE will not do the copy if the type is SQLRPGLE.

doesn't matter.

What matters is that if you switch from /COPY to /INCLUDE the
pre-compiler will ignore the line and the RPG compiler won't. So it
will work they way you want it to.

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.

Just use /INCLUDE instead of /COPY.
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
