Re: Failure options in RGPLE Db2 SP

Best practice would be to use

PARAMETER STYLE SQL

Which provides for a "Return SQL state" and a return message...

You can return any defined IBM SQL state or your own state following the
given requirements
- SQLSTATE classes that begin with the characters 7 through 9 or I through
Z can be defined. Within these classes, any subclass can be defined.
- SQLSTATE classes that begin with the characters 0 through 6 or A through
H are reserved for the database manager. Within these classes, subclasses
that begin with the characters 0 through H are reserved for the database
manager. Subclasses that begin with the characters I through Z can be
defined.

I have an RPGLE service program that is exposed via a Db2 Stored Procedure,
and I'm looking for methods of returning failure info to the caller. I
know I could add an additional parameter or raise an exception. Are there
any other methods?

TIA
