I want to know if we can generate the Hex condition in the where clause at runtime?
Example:
The below sql query works. Output 10 Rows.
COL1 is a CHAR(10) column, it stores the LOG RBA in HEX format.
Code:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE where COL1 > X'00000000000000000000000000'
;
I want to do something like this: - The below doesnot work as the sub select returns a string value and Not HEX value. Hence the output fetched 0 rows.
Code:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE where COL1 > (SELECT 'X'''||substr('2012-04-16-15.43.13.00000000000000000000000000',27)||'''' FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1)
;
Please let me know how this can be achieved in the singe SQL query?
We have a table where IBMSNAP_INTENTSEQ is present. This column is populated by DPROP setup. It contains the Hex string in unreadable form. IBMSNAP_INTENTSEQ is CHAR(10) [Not Readable]. When we use HEX function to get the value, It expands to CHAR(20) [Readable format]
We store this hexibm value in a variable along with the concatenated timestamp as shown below:
Code:
2012-03-31-10.10.10.0000000000C96DA597C57C0001
Now we want to read the data from the table dynamically by substr('2012-03-31-10.10.10.0000000000C96DA597C57C0001',27) --> This will extract only the hex number part as starting position is 27 in substr.
If I try the below query
Code:
SELECT * FROM
TABLE01
where HEX(IBMSNAP_INTENTSEQ) > '00000000000000000000'
WITH UR;
This will also not yield the correct results as Now hex is getting compared with CHAR.
In HEX, Sequence is -- 0,1,2,3,4....A,B,C,D,E,F
In CHAR (EBCDIC) Sequence is -- A,B,C,D,E,F....Z,0,1,2,3,....9
This is why I want to make the query dynamic as shown in the above post.
Not sure how this can be achieved in single query.
Here is a UserDefinedFunction which is the opposite from HEX()
just make sure that length(input string) is divisible by 2. ie. Hex characters are paired.
Code:
CREATE FUNCTION
My_HEX2EBCDIC (I_STRING VARCHAR(50))
RETURNS VARCHAR(50)

Hello,

If they do not agree, maybe they should be responsible for providing a solution. . .
If this is truly needed and they don't have a way to do this and will not agree on your "own code" (GuyC's), it will be time to talk with your manager to learn how to proceed. . .
