You missed the empty column after the identity_Val_Local() function:
Sorry not column, but parenthesis

You missed the empty column after the identity_Val_Local() function:
Exec SQL SET :gLastId = Identity_Val_Local();
Will work correctly (VALUES INTO is only an alternate)

Betreff: Re: AW: Identity columns and RLA
I was playing with identity columns (cuz it's Friday)...
I created a simple table as below (using strsql on greenscreen)...
CREATE TABLE johnr/MYTAB (
CNCUST DECIMAL(6, 0) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 ,
CNDESC CHAR(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' ,
CNIDCOL INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY) Table MYTAB in JOHNR created
but was not journaled.
And have a simple rpg program with an F-spec using WRITE to write records to
MYTAB...
fmytab uf a e k disk rename(MYTAB:MYTABR)
It works and the identity increments as expected.
I tried to add the piece indicated in this thread about retrieving the
identity value after the write operation but that piece is not working for
me...
d gLastId s 10i 0
cnCUST = s1CUST;
cnDESC = s1DESC;
write mytabr;
exec sql set :gLastId = Identity_Val_Local;
s1MSG = 'Record identity ' + %char(gLastId) + ' written.';
the rpg variable gLastId is always zero, and the sqlcod after the exec sql
statement is
SQL0206 Column or global variable not found.
Any idea what I'm missing or doing wrong?
Thanks,
John

There is no need to convert everything into SQL.
If the identity column is generated always, the new identity value is
determined correctly when writing a new record.
If you perform an SQL SET statement, with IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL, the identity
value of your write operation.
Exec SQL SET :LastId = Identity_Val_Local; </snip> <br /> The information in
