Thanks Fabio. Are you talking about the SQL scalar functions in SQL? I want to get the fields from the file that have been defined as char and contain 8 bit data. The only way currently is to read these through rpgle and transform the values to another field. This is the reason I am trying the UDT, also I have flat files with packed data. I need to use the sqlrpgle. I am not sure what I can do there with *sql udt. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks again, Sudha Sudha Ramanujan SunGard Futures Systems sramanujan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (312) 577 6179 (312) 577 6101 - Fax -----Original Message----- From: fabio.gloria@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fabio.gloria@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 11:12 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: UDT & SQL query Hi Sudha, what about to concatenate all the values you want to return in a big char parameter (say 2000 chars) using a field separator ? Remember also that right from V5R1 you can generate *SQL UDT Fabio SRamanujan@sungardfu tures.com To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent by: cc: midrange-l-bounces@m Subject: UDT & SQL query idrange.com 18/03/2004 17.50 Please respond to Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Hi All, I am trying to use a UDT on a file to return more meaningful fields. I wanted to know if there are any restrictions to the number of parameters/fields that can be returned. I have some 100 odd fields and will increase after I am done with expanding them. I find my program already complaining at the number of returns. I don't want to write separate UDT for different set of data from the same file. Is there a solution for this? A work around maybe? This was proably already discussed earleir, but when I sql a file, I get all the rows returned and that could be anywhere upto millions. I know I can monitor my fetch but is there any way I could reduce the traffic by indicating how many number of records I want the sql to return as well?
