Hi All

I try to code the below sql

Code:

Exec SQL

Select char(x:hv1) into :hv2 from sysibm.sysdummy1

End-exec.

01 hv1   x(02)  value '28'.
01 hv2   x(01).


But I am getting sqlcode -440 . If I run the same query in SPUFI . I am getting the required result. How to resolve this ?

Perhaps the DB2 that you run your SPUFI against is not the same as the one you run your 'other' query against and the two setups are not identical?

The difference is X'28' used in spufi,where as in program it is host variable.

from the messages manual

Quote:
-440 NO AUTHORIZED routine-type BY THE NAME routine-name HAVING COMPATIBLE ARGUMENTS WAS FOUND


meditating on the routine-type and routine-name should give You a hint on how to proceed

Apologies it is not -440 it is -420. Is there any issue in my host variable declaration? BX'28' is 1 byte. But I declared 2 bytes. Is it possible in Cobol to convert 2 bytes to 1 byte. In SPUFI SQL I have used X'28'. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If there is a difference, then IT IS NOT THE SAME !!!!! icon_evil.gif sterb050.gif

01 hv1   x(02)  value '28'.
01 hv2   x(01).

Because hv1 has value '28', then char(x:hv1) is equivalent to char(x'28')
Is that really what you think ???
