Hi Alan,
I could be wrong, shouldn’t the DS definition be like this:
   dcl-ds MX extname('CS58V004') dim(9999) end-ds;
Or is CS58V004 a named constant in your program?
Because I always do forget the quotes around the file name, and I always
get punished by the compiler or pre-compiler for it - but in fact, they
are mandatory. 

[1]EXTNAME(file-name{:format-name}{:*ALL|
*INPUT|*OUTPUT|*KEY|*NULL}) [2]apple-touch-icon.png
ibm.com

But I don’t know if the SQL precompiler already understands *AUTO on your
release/TR level - because right now it still has issues when using
LIKEREC(…) with any of the extenders like*ALL, *INPUT, …
The SQL precompiler is maintained by another team, not Barbara’s great RPG
compiler people - so it always „limps“ a bit behind on the language
features. 
And all that the precompiler emits in such cases is SQL0314 - so it’s
always a guessing game, what’s really wrong.

I agree. I will forward this dialogue there.
Charles,
I put qualified on both of them but it did not help at all. Note that
none of the subfields are explicitly used in this procedure.
Could it be there is a gap in the understanding of the pre-compiler?

The RPG compiler wouldn't like that, let alone the SQL
Pre-Compiler...

I would add QUALIFIED to both.

I have to correct something I said before. I took the *AUTO out
of the

DIM(*AUTO:9999) keyword in the declaration and it still barfed
the same

message. So it has nothing to do with *AUTO.

Also, I have /exactly and precisely/ (redundant for emphasis)
the same

syntax in another regular *PGM program and it has been running
smoothly

for a long time.

What I don't get is how an SQL pre-compiler can get error out on
a

variable definition conflict when there is only one. (for the
SQL

statement variable used to "Prepare" the cursor.

Thanks, Charles!

I don't know whether it's relevant at this stage, but this all
happens

in the context of a service program procedure.

*SQL0314 Sev=35 Record=2297 Text = Position 40 Host variable
QQSTMT

not unique.*

*SQL5011 sev=30 Record=2301Text = Position 67 Host structure
array MX

not defined or not usable for reason code 1. *

In the calcs I build a dynamic SQL statement in variable
QQSTMT to use

in the normal SQL cursor.

==>As I wrote this I realized that it might be caused by the
other

error SQL0314.

BIG problem with SQL0314 is that I only find once that QQSTMT
is

defined. I suspect that issue is elsewhere but it gives me no
clue.

*DCL-DS MT EXTNAME(CS58V004) END-DS ;*

**

*DCL-DS MX EXTNAME(CS58V004)DIM(9999) ;*

**

*DCL-S QQSTMT CHAR(4098) ;*

**

*2297 exec SQL Prepare STMT1 from :QQSTMT *

**

*exec SQL Declare M1 cursor for STMT1 ;;*

**

*exec SQL Open M1;*

**

*2301 exec SQL Fetch Next From M1 for :RowsToFetch rows into
:MX ;*

--Alan

P. S.I wrestled with the SQL5011 error before. Reading the
text for

it, looks like 12 different possible causes for it. The last
time it

happened for me I posted a please-help, but other changes in
the code

resolved the issue, and I couldn't figure out which change did
it.

In coding a service procedure as a sort-of I/O server.

I have defined a data structure to receive rows from an
SQL View:

DCL-DS   MX  EXTNAME( MYSQLVIEW )  DIM(*AUTO:9999) ;

..where

This exact syntax works perfectly elsewhere without the
*AUTO.

I'm getting error SQL5011  Host structure array MX not
defined or not

usable for reason code 1.

Reason code 1: Host structure array not defined or is not
a valid

structure. A valid structure must have at least one valid
member....

Can somebody help or point me somewhere. I saw something
similar

before

so I suspect it's not the *AUTO throwing things off.
