Re: sql and screen fields

Hello Jay,

Am 11.10.2024 um 15:27 schrieb Jay Vaughn <jeffersonvaughn@xxxxxxxxx>:

I'm on a 7.2 system and doing the below in my rpgle and it will not
compile...

What is the actual error message?

What are the actual definitions in the program and DSPF?

i'm so used to doing this on other systems... is it a release limitation?

Transfer code of a working example and try?

the compile issue is the typical sql precompile issue saying the s2_fld cannot be used due to data type or whatever... but both are simple char fields


… "or whatever"?

Please provide actual code snippets. Help us to help you.

I've observed myself that I had started to write many mails to the Midrange Lists and never sent them: In the course of formulating the ask for help and collecting details I often came across something I've not tested and suddenly I saw the error. "Rubber Ducking". :-)

:wq! PoC
