Friend cijojosev,

I think you will have better luck getting an acturate answer to your quesry in the DB2 forum. I would repost this there.

I'll look for the query the the DB2 forum and try to give you some basics on DB2 Stored procedures.

A DB2 Stored Preocedure is nothing more than a subroutine with a few additional considerations. NBD

Hi Cijo,

You can use the sql statements to run it
YOu need to know the parameters to be passed to the stored proc.

EXEC SQL
CALL stoproc(:inparm1,:inparm2,:outparm1,:outparm2)
END-SQL.

Do the normal sql checks as usual.

The first thing we need to know is, what are the parameters it needs, and what are the things it return.
