Re: Embedded SQL message

David,

Thanks for the response. My objective is twofold:
1. To satisfy the need of the current situation.
2. To have a new technique to add to my 'toolbox', for future use.

Either of your suggestions should satisfy #1, and I am very thankful for the information. In addition, I can add both of these techniques to my 'toolbox'.

For #2, I still have the little voice in the back of my mind telling me that I've seen this before, where the entire Completion message was accessible to the RPG program. I could be completely wrong (it wouldn't be the first time), and either of the other techniques will work for the current situation.

Thanks.

Now the kicker...  I need/want to display this SQL message to the

access this SQL message in the RPG program?  My hope was to use
SQLERM (or SQLERRMC) but that doesn't help.

I've never tried this myself, but you could get the number of rows processed using the following...

exec sql
    GET DIAGNOSTICS :rowsDeleted = ROW_COUNT ;

It's up to you to send the message.

Alternatively, you could use the value in SQLER3, which contains the number of rows affected.  See https://ibm.co/2IKm8wN for more info.
