RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Problem with an SQL UDF created from a procedure within a service program

Hi Charles
Thanks for your reply
Within STRDBG, not specifying the second parameter seems to be working fine
The procedure uses the following code
C Select
C When %parms = 1
C eval CommitmentControlIsActive = *off

C Other
C eval CommitmentControlIsActive =
C UseCommitmentControl
C EndSL

And this looks to be working fine

According to Birgitta - the problem is how the input parameter is defined in my function and How I am using the function in STRSQl
Tru=ing to rctify this situation - but having no luck

You said it accepts two parms, but you only have 1 defined...

CALLED NULL INPUT probably isn't what you want with PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL since there won't be anyway for your RPG program to determine if a NULL is passed.

Bet to post the PR/PI of the RPG proc in addition to the SQL Definition.

I have a procedure (NEXTNUMBER) within a service program (VALUES) This
is working in a number of programs I even created a test program that
uses this procedure, just so that I could STRDBG and look at the logic
flow It works It accepts 2 parameters, the second one being optional
First parameter is a char(50) parameter Second parameter is a logical
parameter

Below is how I created the SQL function When I run the function in
STRSQL

select NBTYGPL.NEXTNUMBER('ALAN SHORE TEST') from SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1

Using STRDBG in another session (after using STRSRVJOB), I can see
that the first parameter is garbage Anyone any idea what I did wrong?

As always - all answers gratefully accepted

Here is how I created the SQL function

CREATE FUNCTION NBTYGPL.NEXTNUMBER (
INORD CHAR(50) )
RETURNS NUMERIC(12, 0)
LANGUAGE RPGLE
SPECIFIC NBTYGPL.NEXTNUMBER
NOT DETERMINISTIC
NO SQL
CALLED ON NULL INPUT
DISALLOW PARALLEL
EXTERNAL NAME 'NBTYGPL/VALUE(NEXTNUMBER)'
PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL
