Re: sqlrpgle - cursor declared in exportable proc

Thanks Birgitta, and all fine suggestions from everyone... thanks.

But what really serves my purpose the best is a UDTF which I have already
coded and implemented... works just as I wanted except now the code is
estranged from my embedded sql code. Can you really have it all?

I went with the UDTF because I did need to pass a handful of parameters to
process the sql in certain ways based on the variables.

thanks

What about creating an SQL View with the SQL Statement (for hiding the

Then you can use this view where ever you want and your Statement is saved
(within the SQL view). And the create view statement itself can also be
stored either in an PC file, an IFS Stream File or in a Source Physical
Member.

Well yeah, that is true... just wanted my sql code within my SQLRPGLE
source (for some OCD reason)...
hmm ok, will go with that unless anyone knows a way.

thanks!

Subject: sqlrpgle - cursor declared in exportable proc is it possible
to declare an sql in an exportable procedure, and use that cursor in
the consuming executable?

tried it but my consuming RPG pgm will not compile, saying it cannot
find the c1 cursor...
What am I missing or is it just not possible?
