Re: return the binary value in SQL statement.

Gerald,

Perhaps you need to cast it into to bit data to transfer byte for byte
without conversion:

select cast (MESSAGE_KEY as char(4) for bit data)
into :wMsgKey
from TABLE(QSYS2.JOBLOG_INFO('*'))
where MESSAGE_TYPE = 'COMPLETION' ...;

.. is it char(4) ?? can't remember...


case

using the TABLE(QSYS2.JOBLOG_INFO('*')) function.
I want to return the MESSAGE_KEY.

D wMsgKey s 4b 0
exec sql
select MESSAGE_KEY into :wMsgKey
from TABLE(QSYS2.JOBLOG_INFO('*'))
where MESSAGE_TYPE = 'COMPLETION'
ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION DESC
FETCH FIRST 1 ROWS ONLY;

on compile I get : SQL0303 Variable WMSGKEY not compatible or value too
long.
