I think instead of questioning the use of SQL or RPG, which is more simple
or faster what should be explained here with an example is how to do it,
the question is not RPG or SQL is how to do it.
is up to the user or however need to use this to consider which one is
faster or more simple.

I love these "so simple" SQL responses that end up being more code (and in
my opinion) less obvious than RPG ... <grin>

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
