Hi ,

I am using the below function in my program.

EXEC SQL
VALUES :WS-TIMESTAMP-OUT = FUNCTION JTIMEZONECONVERTER
(:WS-TIMESTAMP-IN ,
:WS-ORG-TIME-ZONE ,
:WS-TARGET-TIME-ZONE
)
END-EXEC

i am getting the error as

** External Compiler Module message
** DB0100 SQL0104N An unexpected token ":WS-TIMESTAMP-OUT =
** FUNCTION" was found following "VALUES ". Expected tokens may
** include: "<space>". SQLSTATE=42601

Thanks in advance

Hi Craq.

I tried with this. But didnt work.

Actually we are working with cobol on AIX environment. How can we know that whether this particular db2 function is created correctly or not.

Can anybody provide sql to verify whether db2 function is created or not.

Thanks in advance

What are the definitions for WS-TIMESTAMP-IN, WS-ORG-TIME-ZONE, WS-TARGET-TIME-ZONE, and WS-TIMESTAMP-OUT?
