Re: How many quotes does it need to work? -- RPG400-L

I have developed what I think is a better way to deal with all thisl.
%ScanRpl avoids all the issues of building strings.

dcl-c QUOTE '''';

dcl-s Cmd VarChar(1000);

Cmd = 'Select <Q>Bob<Q> From FileX Where Field1 = <Q>X<Q>';

Cmd = %ScanRpl('<Q>': QUOTE: Cmd);

The same trick makes building formatted strings a whole lot easier.

OprHeader = 'Log Number: <LOGID>-Program Error Occurred in <TYPE> Job!';
OprHeader = %ScanRpl('<LOGID>': %Char(gMasterLogId): OprHeader);
OprHeader = %ScanRpl('<TYPE>': Type: OprHeader);

%ScanRpl is great.

This issue was that the quad quotes should be counted as only 1 byte
So, the length of below command is 156 (the string between the
double-quotes)

CALL ISUP03/QSYS2/QCMDEXC(''CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(FLZ) PASSWORD(*USRPRF)
PWDEXP(*YES) USRCLS(*PGMR) TEXT(''''fla'''')
GRPPRF(*NONE) OWNER(*USRPRF) SUPGRPPRF(*NONE) SPCAUT(*ALLOBJ *JOBCTL

Always easy!

This issue can be tested directly in QCMD

Somehow the length of the string is calculated wrong Removing the ,170 and
it creates the user profile correctly The length *must* be passed as
earlier OS releases require the length to be present on the QCMDEXC program

RUNSQL SQL('CALL QSYS2/QCMDEXC(''CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(FLZ) PASSWORD(*USRPRF)
PWDEXP(*YES) USRCLS(*PGMR ) TEXT(''''fla'''') GRPPRF(*NONE) OWNER(*USRPRF)
SUPGRPPRF(*NONE) SPCAUT(*ALLOBJ *JOBCTL *SPLCTL)'',170)') COMMIT(*NONE)
NAMING(*SYS) OPTION(*LIST)

If that may help, it looks like the command length is wrong and the string
null gets read
