Re: Identity_Val_Local() on a DDM File

[Craig Richards <craig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well,

It was easy enough to set this up and insert a record to a remote machine.
But when I call identity_val_local() after the insert it just returns null

To be clear, what I am doing is:
1. From Machine A, using 3-part SQL to insert a record into a table on
Machine B which has an always generated identity column.
2. From Machine A, trying to call identity_val_local() to find the latest
identity value assigned.

Identity_Val_Local() always returns null.
I tried this via the STRSQL command and also in an SQLRPGLE program.

I understand that this value would need to be retrieved from the job
running on the remote machine which actually does the work. I'd hoped it
might be smart enough to figure it out...
I'm lead to believe that it should work via a JDBC connection.

Mike - I thought you said this worked for you, but the scenario you
described isn't the same as far as I can tell.

thanks and regards,
Craig
