Re: Global or static variables in RPG external UDTF program

It almost sounds like the variable is only being initialized when you
first call the function. Could this be that the function is SQL and
therefore runs in the DFTACTGRP? And in my understanding the static
variable would retain it's value until the end of the activation group.
And the DFTACTGRP woldn't end until you signoff...

That was good advice. It didn't seem to make a difference in this case,
but I've found an article on DeveloperWorks by Birgita H., including some
example code for coding an API list read in a UDTF, so I'll reform my
program around that example and see how it goes.

Thank you.
