RE: Syntax for calling stored procedure

["Wilt, Charles" <WiltC@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,

Make sure you cast the parameters to CHAR.

call gnodgdf/getShortSKU (?, CHAR('001'), CHAR('100'), CHAR('3410'))  

By default, string literals are treated as VARCHAR and since SQL procedures and functions can be
overloaded, the system is looking for a procedure named getShortSKU that takes VARCHAR parameters
which of course doesn't exist.

HTH,
Charles
