Re: Allow null in data structure

No, SQL reference.

D CustomerDS DS
D CustID 7P 0
D CustName 30A
D CustSales 7P 2

D CustomerInds S 5I 0 Dim(3)

D NullValue C -1

/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;
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.
