Re: A problem in embedded SQL -- RPG400-L

But you have never shown us the string that you copy into STRSQL unaltered.

It could be a missing space, concattanating two separate words (field names).

Also using DEBUG: have you read the messages DEBUG genearates when executing the SQL statement?

Showing the RPG code has also been requested, especially when do you check SQL CODE and SQL STATE.

Being stubborn is not helping you.

Kind regards,

Carel Teijgeler

Then that doesn't match the code that you showed us. You were using host variables in the code you showed us.

Kevin,

No, you are wrong. I construct a string that will be used as the sql statement. I perform the prepare using that string. I open the cursor and perform a fetch. The fetch fails with an EOD. I display the string, copy it and start STRSQL. I paste the string and press enter. It returns the expected value. At no time do I do anything to alter the sql statement other than modify it ion STRSQL because the ands have 1 character on the previous line and the nd on the next.

Thanks,

Marvin

You say that you are copy and pasting the statement, but the statement uses host variables. At the very least I would think that you are manually replacing those with the values you want to use. If you are doing that, then you are doing what you think the sql preprocessor and run time pieces are doing. Either, the preprocessor/runtime isn't doing what you think it is, you have some other small bug that you are overlooking in your code, or you have found a bug in the OS. If it is #1 or #2 then the information that people have been asking for would help eliminate those. If it is #3 then you need to open a support ticket with IBM. Since you seem to be unwilling to give anyone the information they are asking for, at this point it seems to me your only choice is going to be opening a support ticket with IBM. I would be interested in what they say. As I said before, I got so tired of fighting host variables, likes, and wildcards that if I have one I need today, I automatically just write
it as a dynamic sql statement.

Booth,

As I have repeatedly said, I am doing a copy/paste to use the sql statement in STRSQL. It fails in RPGLE but is successful in STRSQL.

Thanks,

Marvin

Have you run the program in debug and looked at the prepared statement?

Sometimes there will be a missing space character so that the statement will run, but not correctly.

(There is no need to ask me how come I happen to know that.)

Alan,

I construct the sql statement, perform a prepare, and then open the cursor. When I do the fetch it fails to find the record. I copy the sql statement from the RPGLE program and paste it into STRSQL and it finds the record. I don't understand why there is a difference between the two.
