Re: RPGLE SQ:L retrieving Identity Column for DSPF

Have you tried adding the DB reference using RDi?

Subject: RPGLE SQ:L retrieving Identity Column for DSPF

I create a file:

// Create STATESP File
exec sql
create table MARTIN/STATESP (
ID_COL for unique numeric (6, 0)
generated always as identity
(start with 1, increment by 1, no cycle),
STATE char(13) not null,
CITY char(13) not null);

Then I write a DSPF:
*****************************************************************
R SFL1 SFL
S1ID_COL R 5 3REFFLD(ID_COL STATESP)

And the compile fails with ID_COL not defined so I did DSPFFD and see
the field's name is UNIQUE and tried that, but that failed too. (IT
does find STATE & CITY so it's field related.)

Which leads me to conclude there is more to this so I start looking
around and don't recognize anything that helps me. My current concern
is that I best figure this out so I don't confuse the RRN's value with
the Identity Column value.
