Re: embedded sql and object_statistics

Hi Jay,

Birgitta is (of course) right - the function is called split.

This code should work - tested it on PUB400 about 5 minutes ago:

...
where objname in (
select trim(element)
from table(systools.split('XXX, YYY', ','))
)
...

Of course you have to trim the elements - because most of the time, you will have commas and spaces. Maybe you also have to cast the elements to char or varchar.

this did not work either...

where objname in (select element
from table(systools.split(:l_objects, ',')))

Hi Jay,

try to use the SYSTOOLS.SPLITT table function - I think the syntax is:

where objname in (select element
from table(splitt(:l_objects, ‘,‘)))

but I’m not 100% sure - because I’m out of the office right now.

I used it several times in an application where I needed a „dynamic
parameter list“ - works AFAIK on 7.3 and later.

I'm doing an embedded rpgle sql select on qsys2.object_statistics,
and

my

where clause contains...
where objname in (:l_objects)

l_objects = char(2048) and will contain a comma delimited string of
objects, just as sql "IN" would want to see... ie. 'OBJECT1', 'OBJECT2'

in debug it looks fine... I even tried (trim(:l_objects))

However when I run it, I get sqlcode 100.

But if I convert the thing to dynamic sql, i can get it to work.
(but I really don't want to have to do that)...

any suggestions to make it work without dynamic?
