If you goto www.think400.dk/downloads.htm, the third item down is a article
I wrote on using SQL in RPG and nulls. Using Null in RPG and SQL. Might
have you some ideas.

No, SQL reference.

/Free

Exec SQL
Select CustID, CustName, CustSales
Into :CustomerDS :CustomerInds
From Customer
Where CustID = :InputCust;

If SQLState = '00000';

If CustomerInds(3) = NullValue;
PrintSales = 'No Sales';
Else;
PrintSales = ('Sales were $' + %Char(CustSales));
EndIf;

The RPG reference? OK, I'll look.

Allow Null and %NullInd are for file I/O, not SQL.

In SQL you create array of small int, one for each field in the data
structure. If null, array element is set to non-zero. All described in
the
manuals.

I'm doing an SQL full outer join of 2 files looking for exceptions
both
ways. The select is into data structures.

Obviously there will be instances where one or the other of the files
has
nothing so the DS fields will be null. I've got a ALWNULL(*USRCTL)
statement. I've got an If %Nullind (iITNBR) in the code.

The compiler barfs trying to put ALWNULL on the DS definition. How
do I
specify ALWNULL on a DS? My googling skills are lacking today.

Thanks.
