Re: sqlrpgle - cursor declared in exportable proc

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Can't say I've tried this...

But I think you should be able to open a cursor in a *SRVPGM procedure and
consume it from somewhere else...

After all, a cursor is a Db level construct.

Take a look at this article..
https://www.itjungle.com/2010/08/25/fhg082510-story02/

You'll probably need to define the *SRVPGM procedure as an external stored
proc and then instead of calling it via RPG's CALLP, you'll use an SQL CALL.

Also not that the *SRVPGM module will need CLSSQLCUR(*ENDACTGRP) instead of
the oft-misused *ENDMOD.

Then do an
 Exec SQL
        ASSOCIATE RESULT SET LOCATOR :myResults
         WITH PROCEDURE myExtProc;

 Exec SQL
        ALLOCATE localCursor CURSOR
        FOR RESULT SET :myResults;

HTH,
Charles
