Re: Built-in %split RPGLE function

it is so simple with Sql, just create below function(you can even create it
on green screen) and you will accomplish what you need.

CREATE FUNCTION Qgpl.SPLIT (@Data VARCHAR(32000), @Delimiter
VARCHAR(5))

RETURNS TABLE (ID INT, VALUE VARCHAR(256))


LANGUAGE SQL

DISALLOW PARALLEL

DETERMINISTIC

NOT FENCED

RETURN

WITH CTE_Items (ID,StartString,StopString) AS

(SELECT 1 AS ID, 1 AS StartString,

LOCATE(@Delimiter, @Data) AS
StopString

FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1


WHERE LENGTH(@Delimiter)>0 AND LENGTH(@Data)>0


UNION ALL


SELECT ID + 1,StopString + LENGTH(@Delimiter)


,LOCATE(@Delimiter, @Data, StopString +
LENGTH(@Delimiter))

FROM CTE_Items


WHERE StopString > 0)


SELECT ID, SUBSTRING(@Data,StartString,

CASE WHEN StopString=0 THEN LENGTH(@Data)


ELSE StopString-StartString

END)

FROM CTE_Items


This will split your record as rows and then you just have to populate your
array from each

row, be aware that the function should receive two parameters, first parms
should be your

delimited record as one big string and second parms should be the delimiter
in your case

it will be a comma. Hope this help.

No. It would be nice though. I suggest an RFE.

Subject: Built-in %split RPGLE function

Hello all

Is there a built-in RPGLE function to split a comma (or other delimiter)
separated record into an array?

I know it can be done by creating a suitable procedure - I'm just being
lazy.

TIA
Gad
