RE: Embedded SQL - fetching a date

["Kurt Anderson" <kjanderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As you said, I've tried explicitly defining the field size (so for a
date, D), but that failed on me as well.

Thanks,

Kurt:

Another reason for that error message could be that the data structure
is defined outside of the SQLRPGLE source member.  For example, if there
is a LIKE(field) SQL often chokes, especially if the "field" is defined
in a /COPY or sometimes in EXTAME(file).

Your best bet is to explicitly define each subfield size (5s0, 11a,
etc.) instead of using any other references.

Although the pre-compiler has improved over the years, it is still an
order of magnitude or two behind the rest of the OS.
