Re: RPG Free qualified DS RNF008 error V7R1

Yeah, the message saying "Factor 1..." - Factor 1 is a vestige of fixed format RPG, I believe.

Here's the 2nd-level text for the RNF5008 message from message file QRPGLEMSG in QDEVTOOLS -

The Factor 1 operand is not valid. The Factor 1 operand must be blank or a valid name, literal, constant, special word, or format code.

Weird in free-form, but suggests maybe an invalid name, as you say -

One thing - in is a operation in RPG - for bringing IN the contents of a data area - probably can't be used as anything related to a variable name.

Good luck!

I am certain this error has nothing to do with "timestamps" (although I
appreciate the format corrections
Working my way through the 250 page compile listing, but looks to be
related to "in." not being a data area..

I assumed it is complaining about in. - the qualified data structure
Am ignoring the green screen source edit :
Message ID . . . . . . : RNF5008 Severity . . . . . . . : 20
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic

Message . . . . : Factor 1 operand is not valid; defaults to blanks.
Cause . . . . . : The Factor 1 operand is not valid. The Factor 1
operand
must be blank or a valid name, literal, constant, special word, or
format
code.
Recovery . . . : Correct the Factor 1 operand. Compile again.

Even this fails the screen edit: in.StartDate = StartDT;

But I do have to work out the timestamp format issues - this is a web
service program to a unix DB2 system,
and it is expecting this for a timestamp
'2015-12-08T14:26:46' without additional zeros at end (fails
with
them)

Hi Jim

Your timestamp format is invalid, I think - that is the format SQL
Server
wants, maybe it's an ODBC ISO format.

Here from the RPG reference on timestamp literals -

Timestamp literals have the form Z'yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss', optionally
followed by a period followed by zero to twelve fractional seconds,
Z'yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss.frac'

But in the %timestamp() built-in-function, I think you don't need the
leading Z.

same error if statement in.StartDate = StartDT;

statement starts in column 10, so not the ptf issue with /free code in
column 1 - 6
5770WDS SI51094 is applied.

Many other ptfs for WDS in google - hoping to narrow this down.
Not an option to load cume (that requires a month of testing ...)

This is code generated from WSDL2RPG but all I see says this should
work.
