SQLCODE = 450 SQLSTATE=39501 :while calling Stored Procedure

mad_guy · New User Joined: 15 Jan 2010 Posts: 31 Location: India/UK

I am getting SQLCODE -450 whil calling a stored proc .
Here is the snap:-
SQL0450N Routine "store proc name" (specific name "6") has generated a result
value, SQLSTATE value, message text, or scratchpad which is too long. SQLSTATE=
39501

Can any one tell me how to resolve?

oh, stop paraphrasing return code messages when you don't know what they mean.

Reason: USER-DEFINED FUNCTION OR STORED PROCEDURE name,
PARAMETER NUMBER parmnum, OVERLAYED STORAGE BEYOND ITS
DECLARED LENGTH.

Description: Upon return from a specific function name or a stored
procedure name, DB2 has detected an overlay storage beyond
a parameter 's declared length.
The parameter number is specified for a stored procedure or function.

I'd say: the UDF or SP
OVERLAYED STORAGE BEYOND ITS DECLARED LENGTH.

I can also copy and paste the solution/reason from any ibm website or other.
But I need a real solution.
I have tested/debugged it and seen every parameter values are OK...
So any one who faced this issue and resolved, must help me here.

Mad_Guy,

parm#6 is the parameter is question.
(unless of course you could not even get that correct)

While I am executing it as a batch cobol,the values are showing exactly fine.But calling by stored proc its giving error.
Can you see why?

yeah, line 13 is the problem.

Surely you can,But as you can't solve my problem with the stored proc so don't write anything here,don't try to make some foun out of it also.

yep, all my fault.
I was the one who did not bother to supply any information whatsoever!

Hello,

And still none has been provided. . .

Possibly MG will realize that until something useful is posted, we can't do much. . .

MG - if you want help, post something we can use. What have you done to verify the problem is not as DBZ already told you?

mad_guy, so far all you've said is that you're getting an error code but that your code is perfect because you've checked every value and they aren't the cause. The biggest problem I see so far is YOUR ATTITUDE. If you don't know your code is wrong, you are not going to find the problem and fix it. And if your code was not wrong, you would not be getting a system error back.

And running COBOL code to compare against something else is useless -- would you look in London for money you dropped in Manchester? That is what you've said you are doing. Fix the attitude and start getting real about looking for the issue, or accept that your problem will not be fixed. Your choice.

DB2 checks for certain types of limited actions that erroneously modify storage (for example, if the UDF moves a few too many characters to a scratchpad or to the result buffer). In that case, DB2 returns an error, the one which you are getting -> SQLCODE -450 (SQLSTATE 39501), which means - the stored procedure or user-defined function overwrote storage beyond a parameter's declared length, now why it might have happend, there are several possible causes:

- Too many bytes were moved to the result buffer.
- The data type is one where the data value must be delimited by a null, such as VARCHAR(n), and the delimiting null was not within the range of the defined size.
- DB2 is expecting a two- or four- byte length value preceding the value, and this length exceeds the defined size of the result.
- A LOB locator is returned by the routine, and the length of the LOB value associated with this locator exceeds the defined size of the result.

Also, are you sure you've used the correct Data Types for variables?

PS. For the time being I'm just avoiding what had happened in some of the previous posts.
