| SQL code -305 menas, "Null Indicator is Needed". You might be doing this operation on a non-null field or where Null indicator is not declared. |

Thank you!!
I tried using the null indicator also.
| Code: |
PROG1:PROCEDURE OPTIONS(MAIN);
EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA;
DCL INDVAR BINARY FIXED(4);
DCL 1 REPORT,
5 EMPNAME CHAR(15),
5 EMPNO CHAR(5),
5 DEPT CHAR(5);
DCL DB2OUT FILE OUTPUT RECORD ENV( FB BLKSIZE(1000) RECSIZE(25));
EXEC SQL DECLARE C1 CURSOR FOR
SELECT EMPNAME,EMPNO,DEPT FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE EMPNO='11111';
EXEC SQL OPEN C1;
OPEN FILE (DB2OUT) TITLE('OUTFILE');
EXEC SQL FETCH C1 INTO :REPORT.EMPNAME,
:REPORT.EMPNO,
:REPORT.DEPT :INDVAR;
WRITE FILE(DB2OUT) FROM(REPORT);
EXEC SQL CLOSE C1;
CLOSE FILE(DB2OUT);
END PROG1; |
this is my program(PLI program).Here "Employee" is the table where the "dept" contain null values.
I know some changes should be made in my program.
please check and tell me what are the changes i have to do the above program.
Thank you!!!!! |

| You need a one byte (I think that is the size) flag. Where did you declare INDVAR? That needs to be somewhere |

Bhagyalakshmi C,
| Code: |
EXEC SQL FETCH C1 INTO :REPORT.EMPNAME,
:REPORT.EMPNO,
:REPORT.DEPT :INDVAR;
+++++++++++++++++++++++insert additional code as suggested below
WRITE FILE(DB2OUT) FROM(REPORT);
|
before you write the file, check INDVAR for a value of -1. If equal, populate REPORT.DEPT with an acceptable literal (like 'NONE') and then write the file.
I am not a PL1 type, so I can not suggest the code. |

as I can not edit my posts, I will add this addendum. I congratulate you for the Good Work that you accomplished by yourself. The null indicator variable was correctly defined and your SQL syntax is excellent.
As I indicated above, you only need to check it for a -1.- If INDVAR = -1, you have a null return for REPORT.DEPT and you need to populate REPORT.DEPT with a literal of your own choosing.
- If INDVAR <> -1, then REPORT.DEPT was populated by DB2 with a department name/number contained in the row corresponding to the employee that was returned.
again, good job! I don't mind helping people who try to help themselves. |
