RE: sqlrpgle - cursor declared in exportable proc -- RPG400-L

... and why is it no possible to call the UDTF from within your RPG Program?

The other question is if you really need an UDTF or if it can be done with an SQL View.
But nevertheless Views AND UDTFs can be accessed and executed with embedded SQL!

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

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

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?
