Re: challenging tasks? Got one to discuss?

@Kevin, I was getting an error when using Systools.HttpPostClob that turned
out to be ccsid=65535 related. In my program, in the Initialization
procedure, I coded

// Change the CCSID to 37 as some/most users have 65535 which causes the
program to abend
Exec sql

SELECT character_code_set_id

INTO :userCcsid

FROM QSYS2.USER_INFO

WHERE authorization_name = :psds.User;



Monitor;

cmdString = 'CHGJOB CCSID(37)';

Qcmdexc(cmdstring :%Len(cmdString));

On-error;

Endmon;

And then at the end of the program I added.

// Change the CCSID back to what it was
If userCcsid = '65535' or userCcsid = 'QCCSID';
Monitor;
cmdString = 'CHGJOB CCSID(*SYSVAL)';
Qcmdexc(cmdstring :%Len(cmdString));
On-error;
Endmon;
Endif;

This got rid of the error and the call to Systools.HttpPostClob completes
successfully. I'm wondering if I'm overlooking something as I understood
from your post that the chgjob had to be in the calling program.

Thanks,

Rob

It's not something you change in the program, it has to be at the job
level. Do a chgjob ccsid(37) - or whatever ccsid you want to use - before
you run the program.

If your system is running 65535 you should probably look at the pros and
cons of changing it. Bruce Vining has a nice write up on it at the IBM
website.

I am looking at the program and am not sure where to put it. I have dried
a few places but did not work. Any ideas on where to put it?

I assume it is on this statement

exec sql select * into :latitude, :longitude

from json_table(systools.httpgetclob(:URL, ''),

'lax $.result.addressMatches[*]'

columns(

Latitude varchar(15) path '$.coordinates.y',

Longitude varchar(15) path '$.coordinates.x')

empty on error);


I have done it on sql scripts before. Usually in the select area like
this.

SELECT ENTRY_TIMESTAMP,

JOB_NUMBER CONCAT '/' CONCAT RTRIM(JOB_USER) CONCAT '/' CONCAT
RTRIM(JOB_NAME) AS JOB_NAME,

REMOTE_ADDRESS,

rtrim(cast(cast(substring(entry_data,2,10) as VARCHAR(10) for bit
data) as varchar(10) ccsid 37)) as User_Name

FROM TABLE(qsys2.display_journal(

'QSYS', 'QAUDJRN', -- Journal library and name

STARTING_RECEIVER_NAME => '*CURAVLCHN',

journal_entry_types => 'PW', -- Journal entry types

starting_timestamp => CURRENT TIMESTAMP - 48 HOURS)) -- Time
period

If your CCSID is 65535 then yes, that would cause it to error out.

Booth, I have found some of your stuff interesting.


I just looked at this and thought, I need to try it.


I copied the two SQLRPGLE programs and the DSPF to my system. They
compiled without issue. I think that is a first.


I get these results.

Street 2800 37th St NW Trial 1 failed: SQL code -332

I looked up -332 and it said "Character conversion is not defined." I am
not sure what conversion it is refering to.


Do I need to set up my CCID or something?
