Re: using SYSTOOLS.SPLIT

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure what you're asking, Danny. All of your three examples are 
working as best they can.

If I understand correctly, SYSTOOLS.SPLIT returns two result columns:

Column Name    Data Type    Description
ORDINAL    INTEGER    The relative position of this element in the input 
string. The first row has a value of 1.
ELEMENT    CLOB(2G)    The value of the element.

Note the second column is a CLOB. I guess STRSQL cannot cope - hence 
*POINTER.

The ACS Run SQL Statements facility is more sophisticated works OK, 
(though this doesn't show in your cut/paste) It is able to cope with the 
CLOB return column. Note you have two rows being returned.

The SQLRPGLE example half-works - though I would suggest you define the 
second return column differently. You have the first row returned - but 
not the second. Your program does not accommodate multiple rows and 
you'll find a corresponding error message, SQL0811 (which you're not 
trapping - so the program continues to the end). Perhaps you should code 
for a file cursor?

HTH,
Brian.
